What song lyrics best describe your life or your attitude about it right now?

frenzy-CIB- Jim’s with Jesus asked:


Copy and paste lyrics, pretty please.

I’ll start:

“It’s My Life”

This ain’t a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain’t gonna be just a face in the crowd
You’re gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

[Chorus:]
It’s my life
It’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I’m alive
It’s my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow’s getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain’t even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

[Chorus:]

Better stand tall when they’re calling you out
Don’t bend, don’t break, baby, don’t back down.

[Chorus]

Bon Jovi, of course. I’m not a avid fan, but Jon has a few songs under his wing that are truly exceptional.
Diane, based on the lyrics to “My Way”, I now have to take “It’s My Life” off of my myspace profile. Didn’t realize it had those lines in it about “one who kneels”. I’m a devout Christian, and I can’t have that.

Dang, but I still love the Bon Jovi song.

This is going to voting for obvious reasons.

To the lady who’s husband is terminal with cancer, I prayed for both you and him as soon as I read your post, and will continue to do so. Peace to you.

Blessings to all, and thanks for the answers.

Open Wounds.

In the dark with the music on
Wishing I was somewhere else
Taking all your anger out on me, somebody help
I would rather rot alone
Then spend a minute with you
I’m gone, I’m gone

And you can’t stop me from falling apart
‘Cause my self-destruction is all your fault

[Chorus]
How could you, how could you, how could you **** me?
When all I ever wanted to be was you?
How could you, how could you, how could you love me?
When all you ever gave me were open wounds?

Downstairs the enemy sleeps
Leaving the TV on
Watching all the dreams we had turn into static
Doesn’t matter what I do
Nothing’s gonna change
I’m never good enough

And you can’t stop me from falling apart
‘Cause my self-destruction is all your fault

[Chorus]

Tell me why you broke me down and betrayed my trust in you
I’m not giving up, giving in when will this war end?
When will it end??

You can’t stop me from falling apart [3X]
‘Cause my self-destruction is all your fault.

[Chorus]

By Skillet.

What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin’ boy
And I’m lost in a daydream
Dreamin’ ’bout my bundle of joy

Love and blessings Don

wish you peace when the cold winds blow
Warmed by the fire’s glow
I wish you comfort in the, the lonely time
And arms to hold you when you ache inside

I wish you hope when things are going bad
Kind words when times are sad
I wish you shelter from the, the raging wind
Cooling waters at the fever’s end

I wish you peace when times are hard
The light to guide you through the dark

[I Wish You Peace lyrics on]
And when storms are high and your, your dreams are low

I wish you the strength to let love grow on,
I wish you the strength to let love flow,

I wish you peace when times are hard
A light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high and your, you dreams are low
I wish you the strength to let let grown on,
I wish you the strength to let love flow,
I wish you the strength to let love glow on
I wish you the strength to let love go on.

Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don’t need reason, don’t need rhyme
Ain’t nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too

I’m on the highway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody’s gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody’s gonna mess me round
Hey Satan, payin’ my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey Momma, look at me
I’m on my way to the promised land

I’m on the highway to hell
(Don’t stop me)

And I’m going down, all the way down
I’m on the highway to hell

A Thousand Kisses Deep Lyrics (Leonard Cohen)

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done, Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it’s real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet
And then consented to be wrecked,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I have heard how Christians long ago
Were brought before a tyrant’s throne
And they were told that he would spare their lives
If they would renounce the name of Christ
But one by one they chose to die
The Son of God they would not deny
Like a great angelic choir sings
I can almost hear their voices ring

I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
With all my strength
With all I am
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb

Now the years have come and the years have gone
But the cause of Jesus still goes on
And now our time has come to count the cost
To reject this world, to embrace the cross
And one by one let us live our lives
For the One who died to give us life
Till the trumpet sounds on the final day
Let us proudly stand and boldly say

I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
With all my strength
With all I am
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb

To the Lamb of God who bore my pain
Who took my place, who wore my shame
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb

“Take This to Heart”
-Mayday Parade
Cause I’m a mess and you know that I can’t help it
The drive home never seemed this long before
We’re killing time just a little bit faster
And I swear we’ll make it

But I can’t tell you what I don’t know
(And be mine tonight, be mine tonight)
The simple things that make my heart go
(And be mine tonight, be mine tonight)
But I can’t tell you what I don’t know
You’ll have to wait
You’ll have to wait

Stay safe
(Stay strong)
And let me know that you’ll be here while I am gone
Because I’m coming home
Coming home tonight
Let’s get this right
I said I’m coming home
Coming home tonight

You said it hurts and you know that I believe you
Searching every little thing to find a way
To tell your heart just to wait a little longer
I swear we’ll make it

But I can’t tell you what I don’t know
(And be mine tonight, be mine tonight)
The simple things that make my heart go
(And be mine tonight, be mine tonight)
But I can’t tell you what I don’t know
You’ll have to wait
You’ll have to wait

Stay safe
(Stay strong)
And let me know that you’ll be here while I am gone
Because I’m coming home
Coming home tonight
Let’s get this right
I said I’m coming home
Coming home tonight

One more night
And we’ll go spinning around the room
And dance with our hearts on fire
Cause every song is ours tonight
And if you love me so
(And if you love me so)
I’m gonna tell the whole world
That it’s the greatest thing that happened to me
I’ve finally found a good reason to come home

Stay safe
(Stay strong)
And let me know that you’ll be here while I am gone
Because I’m coming home
Coming home tonight
Let’s get this right
I said I’m coming home
Coming home tonight

First, when there’s nothing but a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind
All alone I have cried silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel, made of stone

Well I hear the music, close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart

Chorus:
What a feeling, bein’s believin’
I can’t have it all, now I’m dancin’ for my life
Take your passion, and make it happen
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life

My Way Frank Sinatra..
=

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.

Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say – not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

I have always done it my way and always will..

My husband is critical with cancer so right now, this describes my life.

Farther Along

Words: Traditional

Tempted and tried will oft’ me to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long;
While there are others living about us,
Never molested, though in the wrong.

Farther along we’ll know more about it.
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We’ll understand it all by and by.

When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear;
Then do we wonder how others prosper
Living so wicked year after year.

Farther along we’ll know more about it.
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We’ll understand it all by and by.

Often I wonder why I must journey
Over a road so rugged and steep;
While there are others living in comfort,
While with the lost I labor and weep.

Farther along we’ll know more about it.
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We’ll understand it all by and by

Faithful ’til death, said our loving Master,
A few more days labor and wait;
Toils of the road will then be as nothing,
As we sweep through the beautiful gates.

Farther along we’ll know more about it.
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We’ll understand it all by and by.

When we see Jesus coming in glory;
When He comes from His home in the sky;
Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion.
We’ll understand it all by and by.

Farther along we’ll know more about it.
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We’ll understand it all by and by.

Would I believe you when you would say
Your hand will guide my every way
Will I receive the words You say
Every moment of every day

(chorus)
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me

Help me to win my endless fears
You’ve been so faithful for all my years
With one breath You make me new
Your grace covers all I do

yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah, yeah, ya

(chorus)

Well I’m broken, but I still see Your face
Well You’ve spoken, pouring Your words of grace

(chorus x2)

Well hallelujah, hallelu
(I will walk by faith)
Well hallelujah, hallelu
(I will walk by faith)

I will walk, I will walk, I will walk by faith
I will, I will, I will walk by faith

How Can I Keep From Singing
Lyrics: Anne Warner (1864),

My life flows on in endless song
above Earth’s lamentation.
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear that music ringing.
It sounds an echo in my soul,
how can I keep from singing?

What though the tempest loudly roars,
I know the truth, it liveth.
What though the darkness ’round me close
songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
while to that rock I’m clinging.
Since Love is Lord of Heaven and Earth,
how can I keep from singing?

When tyrants tremble, sick with fear
and hear their death knells ringing,
when friends rejoice both far and near,
how can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile,
our thoughts to them are winging.
When friends by shame are undefiled,
how can I keep from singing?

Sting – Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot

Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He’ll guide you well

When you’re down and they’re counting
When your secrets all found out
When your troubles take to mounting
When the map you have leads you to doubt
When there’s no information
And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well

Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He’ll guide you well

When the doctors failed to heal you
When no medicine chest can make you well
When no counsel leads to comfort
When there are no more lies they can tell
No more useless information
And the compass spins
The compass spins between heaven and hell

Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He’ll guide you well

And your eyes turn towards the window pane
To the lights upon the hill
The distance seems so strange to you now
And the dark room seems so still

Let your pain be my sorrow
Let your tears be my tears too
Let your courage be my model
That the north you find will be true
When there’s no information
And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well

Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you
Let your soul guide you upon your way…
