RIGHT TO DREAM
[Written by Mariah Carey, Willie Nelson]


I lay awake sometimes
Scared to close my eyes
And I wonder where I left myself
I lost the will to fly

And the night melts into morning
Still it's cold beneath the sun
'Cause the fire in me's languishing
And I'm too frozen to run

Every once in a while
There's a distant glimmer of hope
I find
Somewhere deep inside
Someone strong still resides
And I know she's gonna be fine
In time
'Cause you see
I've got a lot to dream
There's more than this for me

An angel lands with broken wings
Warms me with his eyes
And the ice that sheaths around my heart
Unravel as he smiles

See I grew up locked in sorrow
So I learned to block the pain
But I won't give up tomorrow
'Cause I've come to life again

Every once in a while
There's a distant glimmer of hope
I find
Somewhere deep inside
Someone strong still resides
And I know I'm gonna be fine
That's right
'Cause for real
I've got a right to dream
There's more than this for me

But I keep on going 'cause

Every once in a while
There's a distant glimmer of hope
I find
Somewhere deep inside
Someone strong still resides
And I know she's gonna be fine
In time
'Cause you see
I've got a right to dream
There's more than this for me

[Mr. Brightside]

great topic

Cant remember who sings this but its a great tune with some very uplifting lyrics

Return To Innocence

Love - Devotion
Feeling - Emotion
Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart, my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence.
(The return to innocence)
And if you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself, don't hide
Just believe in destiny.
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up, and use the chance
To return to innocence.
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence.
(That's the return to innocence)

[Kiran]

Ooh thats my favourite Enigma song Gollum!!! I love that song and always makes me feel very happy!!

I have to say High by the Lighthouse Family does it for me too!! I love their laid back songs...so gently and balmy....

When youre close to tears remember
Some day itll all be over
One day were gonna get so high
And though its darker than december
Whats ahead is a different colour
One day were gonna get so high

And at
The end of the day
Well remember the days
We were close to the edge
And well wonder how we made it through
And at
The end of the day
Well remember the way
We stayed so close to till the end
Well remember it was me and you

cause we are gonna be forever you and me
Youll always keep me flying high in the sky of love

Dont you think its time you started
Doing what we always wanted
One day were gonna get so high
cause even the impossible is easy
When we got each other
One day were gonna get so high

And at
The end of the day
Well remember the days
We were close to the edge
And well wonder how we made it through
And at
The end of the day
Well remember the way
We stayed so close to till the end
Well remember it was me and you

cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love

High, high, high, high...

[Mr. Brightside]

Delerium - Silence....... especially the Airscape Remix

Give me release
witness me
I am outside
give me peace

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
and I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

Passion chokes the flower
'til she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
hungry still for more

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

I can't help this longing
comfort me
I can't hold it all in
if you won't let me

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

I have seen you
in this white wave
you are silent
you are breathing
in this white wave
I am free

[Kiran]

Oh yes!!! I forgot that one!! I love Sarah McLaghlans vocals on this.

[Stargazer]

This song and lyrics truly transcend me......i have no choice ,neither do you.....

Desire : Deepak Chopra feat Demi Moore.

A lover knows only humility, he has no choice.
He steals into your alley at night, he has no choice.
He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, don't fret,
he has no choice.
In his frenzied love for you, he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment,
he has no choice.

A lover asked his beloved:
- Do you love yourself more than you love me?
Beloved replied: I have died to myself and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my attributes,
I am present only for you.
I've forgotten all my learnings,
but from knowing you I've become a scholar.
I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able.

I love myself...I love you.
I love you...I love myself.

I am your lover, come to my side,
I will open the gate to your love.
Come settle with me, let us be neighbours to the stars.
You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love.
Even so, you have always been connected to me.
Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest.
I am life itself.

You have been a prisoner of a little pond,
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood.
Come merge with me,
leave this world of ignorance.
Be with me, I will open the gate to your love.

I desire you more than food or drink
My body my senses my mind hunger for your taste
I can sense your presence in my heart
although you belong to all the world
I wait with silent passïon for one gesture one glance
from you.

[Mr. Brightside]

This song has really helped through some rough times

Both the uplifting Tune and the lyrics

Dont Give Up - by Bryan Adams and Chicane


Don't worry if the sun don't shine
You've seen it before, you don't need to worry
Every day's an uphill climb, nothing has changed
Believe me when I tell ya

Dont give it up

Don't give up, you know it's true
Gotta do what you wanna do
Don't give it up, you don't have to
Gotta do what you wanna do

[Jester Black]

Silver Dreams, Golden Reality - Carlos Santana

You came to me
In a silver dream
With a glowing flow
Of a mountain stream

You lift my soul
Way beyond the sky
Just to wake me up
With your golden smiles

Chorus:
Silver dreams and golden smiles
Silver dreams and golden smiles
Silver dreams and golden smiles
Silver dreams and golden smiles

I knew one day
You would come my way
You would help me see
The reality

Heaven and earth
They are one, the same
In my heart I know
When you call my name

Chorus

Dreaming when I'm wide awake
See, when my eyes are closed
Flying, I don't need no wings
Being everywhere at once
Hold me, hold me in your arms
Fill me with your glowing grace

[Mr. Brightside]

St Elmos Fire - John Parr

Growin' up
You don't see the writin' on the wall
Passin' by
Movin' straight ahead you knew it all
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain
You'll find you're all alone
Everything has changed

Play the game
You know you can't quit until it's won
Soldier on
Only you can do what must be done
You know in some way
You're a lot like me
You're just a prisoner
And you're tryin' to break free

CHORUS:

I can see a new horizon
Underneath the blazin' sky
I'll be where the eagle's
Flyin' higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion
All I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lyin'
St. Elmo's Fire

Oooh...

Burnin' up
Don't know just how far that I can go
(Just how far I go)
Soon be home
Only just a few miles down the road
I can make it
I know I can
You broke the boy in me
But you won't break the man

(CHORUS)

I can climb the highest mountain
Cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me
Burnin' in me

Just once in his life
A man has his time
And my time is now
And I'm comin' alive

I can hear the music playin'
I can see the banners fly
Feel like you're back again
And hope ridin' high
Gonna be your man in motion
All I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lyin'
St. Elmo's Fire

(CHORUS)

I can climb the highest mountain
Cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me

Burnin'
Burnin' in me
I can feel it burnin'
Oooh, burnin' inside of me

[mary]

This song everytime I hear it... it breaks me and I may burst into tears... but I love that song...

Def Leppard - Long, long way to go

You held my hand and then you slipped away
And I may never see your face again
So tell me how to fill the emptiness inside
Without love... what is life?

And anyone who knew us both can see
We always were the better part of me
I never wanted to be this free
All this pain, does it go away?

Then everytime I turn around
And you're nowhere to be found
I know I got a long, long way to go
Before I can say goodbye... to you
Oh, I got a long, long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew
To you, to you

From memory there is no hiding place
Turn on the tv and I see you there
In every crowd there's always someone with your face
Everywhere, trying not to care

Then everytime I turn around
And youre nowhere to be found
I know I got a long, long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I got a long, long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew

To you, I wish you everything
And all the best that life can bring
I only hope you think of me sometimes, oh
And even though I feel the pain
I know that I will love again
The time will come, oh, and I'll move on

I got a long, long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I got a long, long way to go, got a long way to go....

[Mr. Brightside]

[Rana]

In this proud land we grew up strong

we were wanted all along

I was taught to fight
taught to win

I never thought I could fail.
No fight left or so it seems

I am a man whose dreams have all deserted

I've changed my face
I've changed my name

But no one wants you when you lose.

Don't give up - 'cause you have friends

Don't give up - you're not beaten yet

Don't give up - I know you can make it good.

Though I saw it all around

never thought that I could be affected

Thought that we'd be last to go

it is so strange the way things turn.
Drove the night toward my home

the place that I was born on the lakeside

As daylight broke I saw the earth

the trees had burned down to the ground.

Don't give up - you still have us

Don't give up - we don't need much of anything

Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong.
Rest your head
you worry too much

it's going to be alright.
When times get rough you can fall back on us

Don't give up
please
don't give up!

Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore

Going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below.
Whatever may come and whatever may go -
That river's flowing
that river's flowing.
Moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down

For every job so many men
so many men no one needs.

Don't give up - 'cause you have friends

Don't give up - you're not the only one

Don't give up - no reason to be ashamed

Don't give up - you still have us.
Don't give up now - we're proud of who you are

Don't give up - you know it's never been easy

Don't give up - 'cause I believe there's a place

There's a place where we belong

"Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush DONT GIVE UP "

i used to play this song to get me though whatever i was going through when i wanted inspiration when i was soo lost and alone ..ive only just "found" and really feel where i trully belong in this earth ..feeling good right now in this part of existing ..

[God's Toy]

Basshunters Walk on water:

I will never be afraid again
I will keep on fighting 'till the end
I can walk on water, I can fly
I will keep on fighting till I die

[Tzvika]

A somewhat wierd choice for me, as i never was, nor will i ever be, an Irish, but the anger, frustration and sorrow that are felt from the lyrics are chilling.

Paddy's Lament

Well it's by the hush me boys,
and that's to mind your noise,
and listen to poor Paddy's
sad narration.
I was by hunger stressed
and in poverty distressed,
so I took a thought I'd leave
the Irish nation.

I sold me horse and cow,
my little pig and sow,
my father's farm of land
I then departed.
And me sweetheart Bid Magee,
I'm afraid I'll never see,
For I left her there that morning
broken-hearted.

Hear ye boys,
now take my advice.
To America I'll have you
not be coming.
There is nothing here but war
where the murdering cannons roar
and I wish I was at home
In dear old Dublin.

Well meself and a hundred more
To america sailed o'er
Our fortunes to be makin',
we were thinkin'.
When we got to yankee land
They put guns into our hand,
saying "Paddy, you must go
and fight for Lincoln."

Hear ye boys,
Now take my advice,
To America I'll have you
not be coming.
There is nothing here but war
where the murdering cannons roar
And I wish I was at home
in dear old Dublin.

Well I think meself in luck
If I get fed on indian buck
and old Ireland is the country
I delight in.
To the devil I would say
'God curse Americay'
For in truth I've had enough
of their hard fighting.

Hear ye boys
now take my advice.
To america I'll have you
not be coming.
There is nothing here but war
Where the murdering cannons roar
And I wish I was at home
in dear old Dublin.

I wish I was at home
in dear old Dublin.

Mike Oldfield - To Be Free
_______________________

You find yourself alone, sometimes
Without a home, no protection
You don't know which way to go
You're lost, no direction

(then) Suddenly, out ofthe blue
Some kind of magic comes to you
You don't know how, you don't know why
But someday, gonna take off, and fly

(wish, make a wish)

My wish would
be...

To be free
To be wild
And to be
Just like a child
And if I get lost
I really don't mind
Cos I'm me Doing just
fine

You're out in the cold, sometimes
As far as you can see,
misty And you want to run, into the sun
The road is lost, sand shifty

(then) Suddenly, out of the blue
Some kind of magic pushes you
through
You don't know when, how or why
But someday, gonna take off and
fly

And if I had a wish, my wish would be...

To be free
To be wild
And to be
Just like a child
And if I get lost
I really don't mind
Cos I'm me
Doing just fine

To be free
To be wild
And to be
Just like a child
And if I get lost
I really don't mind
Cos I'm me
Doing just fine

To be free
To be wild
And to be
Just like a child
And if I get lost
I really don't mind
Cos I'm me
Doing just fine

Just like a child

INXS ..NEVER TEAR US APART
this song transcends me like no other ..Michael Hutchence ..miss him xx




"Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

You
You were standing
Is was there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart "

Anggun - Secret of the Sea

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSrD9wGQIYg

Calling 'cross the blue; it's all I do.
One day you'll come back to me.
It's a secret of the sea.
I'll always love you.

Always...

I see floating on the ocean
Somewhere under the sun
Your golden skin and cyprus and blue.

I hear waves that come rolling in.
Fleetness of wings.
A sound is missing -- A sign from you.

Calling 'cross the blue; it's all I do.
One day you'll come back to me.
It's a secret of the sea.
I'll always love you.
I may never know
Where you did go --
Whatever took you from here.
On these currents that run deep
I'll always love you.

Always...

We would sail into that big sky
Forget about the time.
On the wind we would ride
Watchin' wild birds sweep and glide.

I'll linger just a little more
Drifting on a foreign shore.
Spend my nights
Waiting out the tides.

Calling 'cross the blue; it's all I do.
One day you'll come back to me.
It's a secret of the sea.
I'll always love you.
I may never know
Where you did go --
Whatever took you from here.
On these currents that run deep
I'll always love you.

Always...

Calling 'cross the blue; it's all I do.
One day you'll come back to me.
It's a secret of the sea.
I'll always love you.
I may never know
Where you did go --
Whatever took you from here.
On these currents that run deep
I'll always love you.

I'll always love you.

I'll always love you.

I'll always...

I'll always love you.
