Most people think, Great God will come from the skies, Take away everything And make everybody feel high. But if you know what life is worth, You will look for yours on earth: And now you see the light, You stand up for your rights.~~Bob Marley
mony -
Everytime I hear that song I get goosebumps. It takes me back. Do you remember the video? Powerful stuff.
closer to fine - totally my anthem when I left. Everytime I have a little too much to drink I end up playing that song over and over again.

How about this one from Creed?
Wrong Way
What makes you touch?
What makes you feel?
What makes you stop and smell the roses in an open field?
What makes you unclean?
Yeah.yeah
What makes you laugh?
What makes you cry?
What makes our youth run from the thought that it might die?
What makes you bleed?
Somebody told me the wrong way
What if I died?
What did I give?
I hope it was an answer so you might live
I hope I helped you live
I hope I helped you live
Somebody told me the wrong way
We ride and never worry about the fall
I guess that's just the cowboy in us all
(((closer, harmony)))
Runaway Train...god, that takes me back!!! That song had special significance for me too...I was going through such a shitty period in my life, everything crashing down around my ears and I thought I was a goner...but I still love that song!!! Another one from around that time was "What if God was One of Us?" I used to play that one over and over again, too....

Third Eye Blind, Deep Inside of You
"Sad Lisa" by Cat Stevens
She hangs her head and cries in my shirt,
she must be hurt very badly,
Tell me what's making you sadly.
Open your door, don't hide in the dark,
you're lost in the dark, you can trust me,
'cause you know that's how it must be,
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.
Her eyes like windows,
tricklin' rain upon her pain, getting deeper
though my love wants to relieve her.
She walks alone from wall to wall, lost in a hall,
she can't hear me, though I know she likes to be near me,
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.
She sits in a corner by the door.
There must be more I can tell her.
If she really wants me to help her,
I'll do what I can to show her the way,
and maybe one day I will free her,
'though I know no one can see her.
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa,
Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa.
@STRING: Miles From Nowhere
Miles from nowhere, guess I'll take my time,
oh yeah, to reach there.
Look up at the mountain I have to climb,
oh yeah, to reach there.
Lord my body has been a good friend,
but I won't need it when I reach the end.
Miles from nowhere, guess I'll take my time,
oh yeah, to reach there.
I creep through the valleys, and I grope through the woods,
'cause I know when I find it, my honey,
It's gonna make me feel good.
Yes, I love everything, so don't it make you feel sad,
'cause I'll drink to you, my baby
I'll think to that, I'll think to that.
Miles from nowhere, not a soul in sight,
oh yeah, but it's alright.
I have my freedom, I can make my own rules,
oh yeah, the ones that I choose.
Lord my body has been a good friend,
but I won't need it when I reach the end.
I love everything, so don't it make you feel sad,
'cause I'll drink to you my baby.
I'll think to that,
yes I'll think to that, I'll think to that.
Miles from nowhere, guess I'll take my time,
oh yeah, to reach there.

This always worked for me. Even when I was 'in' the nagging doubts I tried to ignore were telling me to go my own way.
GO YOUR OWN WAY
Fleetwood Mac
Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel
If I could
Maybe I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you wanna do
If I could
Baby I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Great quote:
"When there's no one left to leave you
Even you don't quite believe you
That's when nothing can deceive you"
While You See A Chance
Steve Winwood
-from the album "Arc Of A Diver"
**Stand up in a clear blue morning
Until you see what can be
Alone in a cold day dawning
Are you still free can you be
When some cold tomorrow finds you
When some sad old dream reminds you
How the endless road unwinds you
*While you see a chance take it
Find romance fake it
Because it's all on you
Don't you know by now
No one gives you anything
Don't you wonder how you keep on moving
One more day your way go your way
When there's no one left to leave you
Even you don't quite believe you
That's when nothing can deceive you
( * Repeat)
( ** Repeat)
And that old grey wind is blowing
And there's nothing left worth knowing
And it's time you should be going
( * Repeat)
While you see a chance take it
Find romance
While you see a chance take it
Find romance

Trust yourself
==========
Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to do the things that only you know best.
Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to do what's right and not be second-guessed.
Don't trust me to show you beauty
When beauty may only turn to rust.
If you need somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to know the way that will prove true in the end.
Trust yourself,
Trust yourself to find the path where there is no if and when.
Don't trust me to show you the truth
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Well, you're on your own, you always were,
In a land of wolves and thieves.
Don't put your hope in ungodly man
Or be a slave to what somebody else believes.
Trust yourself
And you won't be disappointed when vain people let you down.
Trust yourself
And look not for answers where no answers can be found.
Don't trust me to show you love
When my love may be only lust.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Pope,
You may have the winner!
The following summarizes a lot of what many of us have come to learn since we left the "roost":
Don't put your hope in ungodly man
Or be a slave to what somebody else believes.Trust yourself
And you won't be disappointed when vain people let you down.
Trust yourself
And look not for answers where no answers can be found.
GopherWhy shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction, after all, has to make sense.
Mark Twain (1835-1910)
How are you gonna beat this one?
I'm going with Van Morrison.
So glad to see you
So glad you're here
Come here beside me now
We can clear inhibition away
All inhibitions
Throw them away
And when we dance like this
Like we've never been dancin' before
Oh, they were swingin'
Down at Kingdom Hall
Oh, bells were ringin'
Down at the Kingdom Hall
A choir was singin'
Down at the Kingdom Hall
Hey, liley, liley, liley
Hey, liley, liley, low
Do do do do do do, do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do, do
Do do do do do do
Good body music
Brings you right here
Free flowin' motion now
When we're shakin' it out on the floor
Good rockin' music
Down in your shoes
And when we dance like this
Like we've never been dancin' before
Oh, they were swingin'
Down at Kingdom Hall
Oh, bells were ringin'
Down at the Kingdom Hall
A choir was singin'
Down at the Kingdom Hall
Hey, liley, liley, liley
Hey, liley, liley, low
Do do do do do do, do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do, do
Do do do do do do
Down at the Kingdom Hall
They were havin' a party
They were havin' a ball
Bells were ringing out
And the choir was singin'
Hey, liley, liley, liley
Hey, liley, liley, low
Do do, do do, do do, do do
Sugar was there
Did you see Sugar
Down at the Kingdom Hall
Sugar was tough
