Lyric of the week

June 27, 2012

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

I’m learning to fly, around the clouds,
But what goes up must come down

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

(“Learning to Fly,” Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne)

Most people think,
Great god will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what llfe Is wonh,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights.

Get up, stand up!
Stand up for your rights!
Get up. stand up!
Don’t give up the fight!

(“Get Up, Stand Up,” Bob Marley & Peter Tosh)

Well, I told you pretty baby, such a long time ago,
If I found you with another, well I’d walk right out your door,
Oh, you mlght call me crazy,
but there’s one thing you should know.
Well, if you want me to love you,
You’ve got to give it up or let me go.

I know It’s useless to be jealous. I couldnt tie you If I tried.
But when I think of you messing behind myback
It brings a pain I just can’t hide.
Oh baby, I’ve been true to you.
And If I can make that sacrifice,
honey you can do it too
.
(“Give It Up or Let Me Go.” Bonnie Raitt)

I want to sing this song for you
I want to lift your spirits high
And In my soul I want to feel
The beauty of the days gone by

The beauty of the days gone by
It brings a longing to my soul
To oontemplate my own true self
And keep me young as I grow old

The beauty of the days gone by
The music that we used to play
So lift your glass and raise it high
To the beauty of the days gone by

(“The Beauty of the Days Gone By,” Van Morrison)
