    The line, "I really have enjoyed my stay" and "I believe in what you say as the undisputed truth"
    have to be viewed with slight sarcasm.

    The chorus demonstrates such sarcasm.

    Goodbye strange its been nice
    Hope you find your paradise
    Tried to see your point of view
    Hope your dreams will all come true
    Goodbye mary, goodbye jane
    Will we ever meet again
    Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
    Come tomorrow, feel no pain

    I did try to see their point of view and wish the best for those that are still captive, so I
    sarcastically hope they find their paradise.

    The brief lines, "Like a slave without a chain" and "I'll never look behind me" fit perfectly.

    The Song of Angry men from Les Miserables:

    Do you hear the people sing
    Singing the song of angry men
    It is the music of a people
    Who will not be slaves again

    When the beating of your heart
    Echoes the beating of the drums
    There is a life about to start
    When tomorrow comes

    Will you join in our crusade
    Who will be strong and stand with me
    Beyond the barricade
    Is there a world you long to see


    Then join in the fight
    That will give you the right to be free

    Do you hear the people sing
    Singing the song of angry men
    It is the music of a people
    Who will not be slaves again
    When the beating of your heart
    Echoes the beating of the drums
    There is a life about to start
    When tomorrow comes

    Will you give all you can give
    So that our banner may advance
    Some will fall and some will live
    Will you stand up and take your chance
    The blood of the martyrs
    Will water the meadows of France

    Do you hear the people sing
    Singing the song of angry men
    It is the music of a people
    Who will not be slaves again
    When the beating of your heart
    Echoes the beating of the drums
    There is a life about to start
    When tomorrow comes

    The Voice (John Farnham):

    We have the chance to
    turn the pages over
    We can write what we wanna write

    We gotta make ends meet
    before we get much older
    We're all someone's daughter
    We're all someone's son
    How long can we look at each other
    Down the barrel of a gun?

    [Chorus:]
    You're the voice, try and understand it
    Make a noise and make it clear
    (Oh Oh Oh Ohooooh)
    (Oh Oh Oh Oh Ohooooh)
    We're not gonna sit in silence
    We're not gonna live with fear

    This time, you know that we
    all can stand together
    With the power to be powerful
    Believing, we can make it better
    We're all someone's daughter
    We're all someone's son
    How long can we look at each other
    Down the barrel of a gun?

    [Chorus:]

    We're all someone's daughter
    We're all someone's son
    How long can we look at each other
    Down the barrel of a gun?

    You Must Love Me - Evita

    I heard this song when I was contemplating speaking to my husband about what I had learned about "the truth". It really reflected how I felt at that time.

    Where do we go from here?
    This isn't where we intended to be
    We had it all, you believed in me
    I believed in you

    Certainties disappear
    What do we do for our dream to survive?
    How do we keep all our passions alive,
    As we used to do?

    [Bridge:]

    Deep in my heart I'm concealing
    Things that I'm longing to say
    Scared to confess what I'm feeling
    Frightened you'll slip away


    [Chorus:]

    You must love me
    You must love me

    Why are you at my side?
    How can I be any use to you now?
    Give me a chance and I'll let you see how
    Nothing has changed

    [bridge]
    [chorus]

    You must love me

    Wow...my first time on this new board.

    It has to be Grace Slick and..."When the Truth is found to be lies

    You know all the joy within you dies"

    Terrible Lie Nine Inch Nails Hey god, why are you doing this to me?

    terrible lie
    terrible lie
    terrible lie

    (terrible lie)
    you made me throw it all away
    my morals left to decay (terrible lie)
    how many you betray
    you've taken everything (terrible lie)
    my head is filled with disease
    my skin is begging you please (terrible lie)
    i'm on my hands and knees
    i want so much to believe

    my sweet everything
    i give you everything (i need someone to hold on to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=horLLxUj3nM
