Angels among us - Alabama

I was walking home from school on a cold winter day.
Took a shortcut through the woods, and I lost my way.
It was getting late, and I was scared and alone.
But then a kind old man took my hand and led me home.
Mama couldnt see him, but he was standing there.
And I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers.

Chorus
Oh I believe there are angels among us.
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours.
To show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
To guide us with a light of love.

When life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees.
Theres always been someone there to come along and comfort me.
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand.
A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand.
And aint it kind of funny that at the dark end of the road.
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope.

Chorus

They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places.
To guide us with their mercy, in our time of need.

Chorus
To guide us with a light of love.

Arials - System Of A Down

Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river
And one again after the fall
Swimming through the void
We hear the words
We lose ourselves
But we find it all....
Cause we are the one that want to play
Always want to go
But you never want stay
And we are the ones that want to choose
Always want to play
But you never want to lose
Arials, in the sky
When you lose your mind
You free your life
Life is a waterfall
We drink from the river
Then we turn around and put up our walls
Swimming through the void
We hear the word
We lose ourselves
But we find it all....
Cause we are the ones that want to play
Always want to go
But u never want to stay
And we are the ones that want to choose
Always want to play
But you never want to lose
Arials, in the sky
When you lose your mind
You free your life
Aerials, so up high
When you free your eyes eternal prize
Aerials, in the sky
When you lose your mind
You free your life
Aerials, so up high
When you free your eyes eternal prize

Only The Lonely by Roy Orbison


Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely

Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feelin aint right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
Theyre gone forever
So far apart

But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely

Only the lonely
Know the heartaches Ive been through
Only the lonely
Know I cried and cried for you

Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But thats the chance - you gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely

Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah

Walking Among the Living - Jon Randall

I could hear them talking as I was layin' in that hole
With a mountain of trouble weighing on my soul
They all stood around kicking dirt on my grave
It's a miracle I'm standing here today

(CHORUS)
I'm walking among the living again
I'm talkin' and breathing forgiving of my sins
Finding new faith in the arms of old friends
I'm walking among the living

Now the morning sun is warmer on my skin
I'm hearing nature's song, smelling flowers again
This world is so much brighter than I've ever known
And I swear I heard angels
When I rolled away the stone

(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)

I hope you get to a higher place very soon.

James..."Born of Frustration"



All this frustration
I can't meet all my desires
Strange conversation
Self-control has just expired
All an illusion
Only in my head you don't exist
Who are you fooling
Don't need a shrink but an exorcist

Show me the movie
Of who you are and where you're from
Born of frustration
Caught up in the webs you've spun
Where's the confusion
A vision of what life is like
Show me the movie
That doesn't deal in black and white

Stop stop talking about who's to blame
When all that counts is how to change

All this frustration
All this frustration
Who put round eyes on a butterfly's wings
All this frustration
All this frustration
Who gave the leopards spots and taught the birds to sing

Born of frustration
Born of frustration

I'm living in the weirdest dream
Where nothing is the way it seems
Where no one's who they need to be
Where nothing seems that real to me
What can we build our lives upon
No wall of stone, no solid ground
The world is spinning endlessly
We're clinging to our own beliefs

Born of frustration
Born of frustration

Thank, you nurcnurc...I'm okay, really. Lonely at times, but okay with it. I loved these lyrics. Very pretty.

Sorry...I cracked up over some of these lyrics. Good one, though, Ken.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Learning To Fly
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mX9-2xuyP8

Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt, and the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I started out for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there

I'm learning to fly around the clouds
What goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
I'm learning to fly around the clouds
What goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly
I'm learning to fly

Lana, I'm loving the songs you've posted recently. Stand Back, and now this one. Great songs! Hope you're okay, my friend.

Btw...I agree. I feel like this, too. I started learning to fly when my husband died. Now, I have found the wings.

First song that comes to mind is by OneRepublic (I'd post another but it's from a goth band and a bit too dark for here lol) It always makes me think of the day I told my ex-husband that his apologies meant nothing now.

"Apologize"


I'm holdin' on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.
And I'm hearin' what you say,
But I just can't make a sound.
You tell me that you need me,
Then you go and cut me down...
But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry,
Didn't think I'd turn around...
And say...


That it's too late to apologize.
It's too late...
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Yeah!

I'd take another chance,
Take a fall, take a shot for you.
I need you like a heart needs a beat,
But it's nothin' new.
I loved you with a fire red,
Now it's turnin' blue...
And you say...
Sorry, like an angel
Heaven let me think was you...
But I'm afraid...


It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Whoa!


It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.

It's too late to apologize. YEAH!
I said it's too late to apologize. YEAH!
I'm holdin' on your rope,
got me ten feet off the ground.

goo goo dolls~~~~''sympathy''

Stranger than your sympathy
This is my apology
I'm killing myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out

I wish for things that I don't need
All I wanted
And what I chase won't set me free
All I wanted
And I get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees

Oh yeah everything's all wrong yeah
Everything's all wrong yeah
Where the hell did I think I was?

Stranger than your sympathy
I take these things so I don't feel
I'm killing myself from the inside out
Now my head's been filled with doubt

It's hard to lead the life you choose
All I wanted
When all your luck's run out on you
All I wanted
You can't see when all your dreams are coming true

Oh yeah it's easy to forget yeah
You choke on the regrets yeah
Who the hell did I think I was

Stranger than your sympathy
All these thoughts you stole from me
I'm not sure where I belong
Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong

And I wasn't all the things
I tried to make believe I was
And I wouldn't be the one to kneel
Before the dreams I wanted
And all the talk and all the lies
Were all the empty things disguised as me
Yeah stranger than your sympathy stranger than your sympathy

Hi Joel I haven't seen you around much. Hope that things get better for you soon. Just saying hello.

Joel, you're a sweetie. Don't be too hard on yourself.

I Want Your Love Right Now by Dolly Pardon

Runaway Train lyrics Performed by Soul Asylum

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep there's no way out
This time I have really
led myself astray

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a oneway track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seems worth while?
How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mystery seems so dated

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything is cut and dry
Day and night
earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a oneway track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Solo

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
A little out of touch
little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a oneway track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway
but it always seems the same

If I were a boy ....Beyonce

Good song. I just listened. Awesome, and funny (to me)...and insightful.
