Favorite verses in songs

[Skyblade]

Don't you just love music?

Random person in background: No.

Me: Okay, no need to add that comment Anyway, I can tell many people on this forum (especially Soren! And me ) really like music. There's probably already a thread for favorite songs, but here's one specifically for favorite verses in songs. Which verses touch your heart, move you, or make you feel a certain way? Which ones do you simply like? You don't have to post the entire song, just a particular part that stands out.

EDIT: And I am going to bold my favorite lines in my favorite lines

To start, I love the chorus from the choral song Take These Wings

"Take these wings and learn to fly
To the highest mountain in the sky
Take these eyes and learn to see
All the things so dear to me.

Take this song and learn to sing
Fill your hearts with all the joy of spring
Take this heart and set it free
Let it fly beyond the sea."

[Luftwaffles]

Maybe it's because I really (REALLY) like ballads and, well, Roxette, but her song: "Fading like a Flower" really touches me.

This part in particular:

"In a time where the sun descends alone
I ran a long long way from home
To find a heart that's made of stone

I will try, I just need a little time
To get your face right out of my mind
To see the world through different eyes

Every time I see you oh I try to hide away
But when we meet it seems I can't let go
Every time you leave the room I feel I'm fading like a flower".

[Skyblade]

Wow, Sierra! That's amazing!

I love Flying Free by Jenna Lynn. It's the song my heart sings. It is so relatable. It's my theme song, essentially.

There is a place I call my own
Where I can stand by the sea
And look beyond the things I've known
And dream that I might be free

Like a bird above the trees
Gliding gently on the breeze
I wish that all my life I'd be
Without a care and flying free

But life is not a distant sky
Without a cloud, without rain
And I can never hope that I
Can travel on without pain

Time goes swiftly on it's way
All too soon we've lost today
I cannot wait for skies of blue
Or dream so long
That life is through

So life's a song that I must sing, a gift of love I must share

And when I see the joy it brings, my spirits soar through the air

Like that bird up in the sky, life has taught me how to fly

For now I know what I can be
And now my heart is flying free
Oooooo...

[Luftwaffles]

Woah, that's a really nice song, Skyie. Strong yet sweet

Lyrics from my favorite song: Moonlight Shadow.

"The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow

[...].

Stars move slowly in a silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me this night".

[Rusvul]

"Spiderwebs of steel and stone
Subdivide our given home
Rememberance of ancestrial sage
Thorns and brambles of a different age

We will not be thrown away
We will not be torn
We will never fall astray
We've seen your kine before " -Thorns and Brambles, by Abney Park

[Skyblade]

Cool, you guys!

From Castle in the Sky by DJ Satomi:

"You've got the key
Of the kingdom of the clouds
Open the door
Leaving back your doubts

You've got the power
To live another childhood
So ride the wind
That leads you to the moon 'cause...

Fairytales live in me
Fables coming from my memory
Fantasy is not a crime
Find your castle in the sky "

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am
-I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz (Mainly the first four lines but it looks incomplete without the rest)

I ponder of something terrifying
'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of our human existence
One thing consists of consistence
And it's that we're all battling fear
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here
Oh my,
Too deep
Please stop thinking
I liked it better when my car had sound
-Car Radio by Twenty One Pilots

Controversial, also offensive language but it's like "here is a word that you shouldn't be using"

If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately?
"Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the daily
We become so numb to what we're saying
A culture founded from oppression
Yet we don't have acceptance for 'em
Call each other f****ts behind the keys of a message board
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference!
Live on and be yourself
When I was at church they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same, but that's not important
No freedom 'til we're equal, damn right I support it
-Same Love by Macklemore with Ryan Lewis feat. Mary Lambert

Also controversial

No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life,
I'm on the right track baby,
I was born to survive.
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made,
I'm on the right track baby,
I was born to be brave.
-Born This Way by Lady Gaga

They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be.
I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way.
I'll be the watcher (watcher) of the eternal flame.
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams.
-Immortals by Fall Out Boy (Again, mostly the first two lines but it's incomplete without the rest of the verse)

[Luftwaffles]

"There's no easy way out" By Survivor.

"We're not indestructible,
Baby better get that straight.
I think it's unbelieveable,
How you give into the hands of fate.
Some things are worth fighting for,
some feelings never die.
I'm not asking for another chance,
I just wanna know why.".

[SoranMBane]

"Once upon a night we'll wake to the carnival of life
the beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high
It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead
This moment the dawn of humanity
The last ride of the day"
   ~"Last Ride of the Day" by Nightwish (Especially for that one line; "It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead")

"It was the night before,
When all through the world,
No words, no dreams
Then one day,
A writer by a fire
Imagined all of Gaia
Took a journey into a child-man's heart...

A painter on the shore
Imagined all the world
Within a snowflake on his palm
Unframed by poetry
A canvas of awe
Planet Earth falling back into the stars

I am the voice of Never, Never Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan,
A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky,
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real,
Every memory that you hold dear"
   ~"Storytime" by Nightwish (What can I say; these guys seem to have some awesome lyrics. Plus, as someone who likes to read and write, this one just hits home)

"Here at home in this steeple
Made of chrome, above a city of steel,
I've chosen bats over people
'Cause I never did like the way humans made me feel.

So we sleep all day and we rise at night
And we spread our wings and take into the skies.
And when the people look up and stare
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
I just look them in the eye and tell them
I was raised by bats!"
   ~"Raised By Bats" by Voltaire (Yes! Take me away and adopt me, adorable bat-family!)

"I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don't like it
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don't like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?"
   ~"Skullcrusher Mountain by Jonathan Coulton (Of course my favourite love song is from the perspective of a super-villain; why wouldn't it be?)

Everlasting by Hillsong United

"Your will above all else
Still my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing You praise"

Slide by Goo Goo Dolls

"What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married
Or run away?"

Sound the Bugle from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

"Then from on high - somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls, 'Remember who you are'
If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow
So be strong tonight - remember who you are
Yeah you're a soldier now - fighting in a battle
To be free once more - yeah, that's worth fighting for"  

Sigh No More by Mumford and Sons

"Love that will not betray you,
dismay or enslave you,
It will set you free
Be more like the man
you were made to be."

Carry On by Fun.

"My head is on fire but my legs are fine.
After all they are mine."

The Way by Worship Central

"All my days are secure in Your promise
Never standing alone
You're the Truth, You're the Life, You're my future
Jesus, You made a way

I'm alive in the Love that You give me
Free to dance once again
You will lead me from glory to glory
Jesus, You made a way"

[Gonff the Mousethief]

See You Again, Wiz Khalifa

How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gonna be with me for the last ride

So let the light guide your way hold every memory
As you go and every road you take will always lead you home

It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

The Last Goodbye, Billy Boyd. I like this song because it really just tells the story of Bilbo leaving the dwarfs after all they have been through together.

saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye

Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill, and under trees
Through the lands where light never shrone
By silver streams that run down to the sea

Under clouds, beneath the stars
Over snown one winter's morn
I turned at last to paths that lead home
And through where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don't regret
Nor will I forget
All who took the road with me

Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill, and under tree
Through lands where light has shined
By silver streams that run down to the sea

To these memories I will hold
With your bleesing I will go
To turn at last to paths that lead home
And through were the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell

I bid you all a very fond farewell.

[Skyblade]

Wow! Lots of posts!


From Think of Me (Phantom of the Opera)

"Think of me, think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me once in a while
Please promise me you'll try

When you find that once again you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me"

[Delthion]

"For nearly sixty years, I've been cocky.
Of droughts and fires and floods;
I've lived through plenty.
And this country's dust and mire;
Have seen my tears and blood.
But it's nearly over now, now I'm easy."

Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy; The Cocky Farmer.

[Søren]

"If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind

But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say, I'm not over you"
Not Over You, Gavin DeGraw. That actually happened to me, practically word for word. But it was years ago.

[Luftwaffles]

"Try to be best
'Cause you're only a man
And a man's gotta learn to take it

Try to believe
Though the going gets rough
That you gotta hang tough to make it

History repeats itself
Try and you'll succeed

Never doubt that you're the one
And you can have your dreams!

[...]

Fight 'til the end
Cause your life will depend
On the strength that you have inside you

Ah you gotta be proud
starin' out in the cloud
When the odds in the game defy you

Try your best to win them all
and one day time will tell
when you're the one that's standing there
you'll reach the final bell!"

"You are the best around" by Joe Esposito.
