Lyrics which appeal to you

[Eve]

Was listening to The Rose the other day and the lyrics really hot a chord...

What lyrics have appealed to you recently?

"It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long

and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed

that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose"

[pastafreak]

When I was still married,and feeling very low and lonely, These lyrics by Dido expressed perfectly where I was emotionally

"I just want to feel safe in my own skin"

"I just want to feel happy again"

"I just want to feel deep in my own skin"


"I'm so lonely I don't really want to be with myself anymore"

[DebsyDoo]

Good one from No.Knowledge !

An "oldie" but good, nevertheless - for me, is George (Big Bad) Benson's Greatest Love -

"I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadow,
If I fail - if I succeed - at least I'll live as I beleive,
No matter what they take from me,
They can't take away my dignity"

When you are feeling low or unsure of yourself, think about these words - as long as you stay true to yourself & your beliefs, then walk tall & don't let life (or others) put you down !!
