[ QUOTE ]
A Song About War (or at least its what I feel the track is about) - Pink Floyd - Vera Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn Remember how she said that We would meet again Some sunny day Vera! Vera! What has become of you Does anybody else in here Feel the way I do ? [/ QUOTE ] Wow! I saw a spitfire display yesterday, and after it, I could hear, just about, "We'll meet again" by Vera Lynn being piped out from somewhere not too distant. I thought of this Pink Floyd song. |

You can spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin One storm could come and blow it all away Build it anyway You can love someone with all you heart For all the right reasons And in a moment they can choose to walk anyway love em anyway God is great but sometimes life aint good And when I pray It doesn't always turn out like i think it should But I do it anyway Yeah I do it anyway -Martina McBride, Do it Anyway |

Re: What are the truest lyrics you ever read?
There is something about this song that rings true for those who have kids.
Peering out of tiny eyes The grubby hands that gripped the rail Wiped the window clean of frost As the morning air laid on the latch A whistle awakened someone there Next door to the nursery just down the hall A strange new sound you never heard before A strange new sound that makes boys explore Tread neat so small those little feet Amid the morning his small heart beats So much excitement yesterday That must be rewarded must be displayed Large hands lift him through the air Excited eyes contain him there The eyes of those he loves and knows But what's this extra bed just here His puzzled head tipped to one side Amazement swims in those bright green eyes Glancing down upon this thing That make strange sounds, strange sounds that sing In those silent happy seconds That surround the sound of this event A parent smile is made in moments They have made for you a friend And all you ever learned from them Until you grew much older Did not compare with when they said This is your brand new brother This is your brand new brother This is your brand new brother Elton John/Bernie Taupin The Greatest Discovery |

There I am in younger days, star gazing
Painting picture perfect maps Of how my life and love would be Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection My compass, faith in love’s perfection I missed ten million miles of road I should have seen Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together Left each other one by one on the road to fairer weather And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast To the slim chance of love’s recovery "Love's Recovery," Indigo Girls |

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds ... How long shall they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look? |
