Here are a few of my favorites:
“And as we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our soul”
~Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven
“The sea was red and the sky was grey, I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.”
~Led Zeppelin, Going to California
“You know the day destroys the night, night divides the day….tried to run tried to hide….break on through to the other side”
~The Doors, Break on Through
“Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain and all the children are insane, waiting for the summer rain”
~The Doors, The End
But it was only fantasy….the wall was too high as you can see. No matter how he tried, he could not break free…..and the worms ate into his brain.
~Pink Floyd, Hey You
What are some of yours?

SL, you got me a little carried away :) You know me, get me started on music and I can't stop. I would be playing it 24X7 if I had my way and it is pretty obvious that I took your question and ran with it. You'll notice a common theme too -- the sun is a common thread in most of all of the lyrics below! Surprise, Surprise. I think not. I started young with "You are My Sunshine" as my childhood favorite. I have way too many favorites to continue but here are a few...
Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance
Pretty much every single line, most signficantly though...
"I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance",
"Never settle for the path of least resistance" and "I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean"
Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World
"I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world..."
Ozzy Osbourne - Goodbye to Romance
"And the weather's lookin fine and I think the sun will shine again..."
Grateful Dead - Ripple
"If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come thru the music,
Would you hold it near as it were your own?"
Grateful Dead - St. Stephen
"Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow,
What a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned.
Several seasons with their treasons,
Wrap the babe in scarlet colors, call it your own.
Did he doubt or did he try? Answers aplenty in the bye and bye,
Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills,
One man gathers what another man spills.
Saint Stephen will remain, all he's lost he shall regain,
Seashore washed by the suds and foam,
Been here so long, he's got to calling it home.
Fortune comes a crawlin', calliope woman, spinnin' that curious sense of your
own.
Can you answer? Yes I can. But what would be the answer to the answer man?"
Grateful Dead - Scarlet Begonias
"Well, I aint always right but Ive never been wrong."
"Once in a while you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right."
"Wind in the willows playin tea for two;
The sky was yellow and the sun was blue,
Strangers stoppin strangers just to shake their hand,
Everybodys playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band."
The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun
"Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
Its alright"
Allman Brothers - Soulshine (love Warren Haynes -- He's Soulshine)
"When you can't find the light,
That got you through the cloudy days,
When the stars ain't shinin' bright,
You feel like you've lost you're way,
When those candle lights of home,
Burn so very far away,
Well you got to let your soul shine,
Just like my daddy used to say."
Led Zeppelin - Thank You
"If the sun refused to shine,
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you and me."
Moody Blues - The Other Side of Life
"Is the truest music
You've heard
So take your share
Of the gifts that are there
They all belong to you
And come what may
At the break of each day
We all begin anew once more"
Dobi Gray - Drift Away
"Thanks for the joy that you're given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Your rythm and rhyme and harmony
You've helped me along
Makin' me strong"
Rolling Stones - Wild Horses
"Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Lets do some living after we die"
U2 - One
"Did I ask too much
More than alot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we hurt each other
And we do it again"

I got a schoolboy heart, a novelists eye.
Stout sailors legs and a licence to fly
I came nomad feet and some wanderin toes
that walk up my longboard and hang off the nose
Jimmy Buffett, Schoolboy heart
I see a little more of me every day
I catch a little more moustach turning grey
your mother is the only other woman for me
Little Miss Magic what you gonna be?
sometimes I see her dreaming and I wonder where her little mind meanders
Is she down along the shore or cruising over the broad savannah's.
I know in time she will learn to make up her own mind. In time she's gonna learn how to fly, Oh that I won't deny
Jimmy Buffett, Little Miss Magic

"How high can you fly with broken wings? Life's a journey, not a destination. And you just can't tell just what tomorrow brings." Aerosmith - Amazing

"Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?"
-"Vera Lynn" Pink Floyd

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night
Audio Slave - I am the Highway
If I can
Remember
To know this will
Conquer me
If I can
Just walk alone
And try to escape
Into me
[whispering:]
Sensation washes over me
I can't describe it
Pain I felt so long ago
I don't remember
Disturbed - Remember
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
Rascal Flatts - What hurts the Most
I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh to find a better day
I'm walking away
Criag David - Walking Away
SL - I also would play music 24/7.
I love all kinds!!
Adios!
