If everyone cared and nobody cried .
If everyone loved and nobody lied.
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride.
Then we'd see the day when nobody died.

- if everyone cared by Nickelback.

A lyrics which will always be the apt description of a dream.

She said, "how beautiful do I have to be?
When I look in the mirror, you're the only thing I see,
And I have loved you beautifully"

They make me sad but at the same time I could never get enough of that song..

What song is this? Sad, but sounds beautiful.

My all-time favorites are Bob Dylan songs, but there are too many to quote ;-)

Des'ree-love will save the day
Listen as your day unfolds, challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears, stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Herald what your mother said
Reading the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view, my oh my, heh, hey

Kris Allen-live like were dying
Yeah, we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking
If every second counts on a clock that's ticking
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or to throw it all away
Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying oh

"Wake Up Everybody"

Wake up everybody, no more sleepin' in bed
No more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' ahead
The world has changed so very much from what it used to be
So there is so much hatred war an' poverty

Wake up all the teachers, time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
'Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
When you teach the children, teach 'em the very best you can

The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah, just you and me

Wake up all the doctors, make the ol' people well
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
But they don't have so very long before the judgment day
So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away?

Wake up all the builders, time to build a new land
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind
Surely things will work out, they do it every time

The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah, just you and me

I'm really in love with line "but I'll have to tie my laces, if I'm gonna make it" right now. I just feel like it's something a lot of people can relate to in one way or another.

"DECIDE WHAT TO BE AND GO BE IT."

This is from a song by Avett Brothers' called Head Full of Doubt/ Road full of Promise.
Whenever I feel sad and uncertain, I just replay these words over and over in my head.
"Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."
(The Old Astronomer to His Pupil by Sarah Williams)

Well you only
need the
light when
it's burning
low
Only miss the sun when its
starts to
snow
Only know
you love him
when you let him go
Only know
you been
hight when
you feeling
low Only hate the
road when
you missing
home
Only know
you love him when you let
him go
And you let
him go
Staring at
the bottom of you glas
Hoping one
day you
make a
dream last
Dreams comes slow
and they go
so fast
You see him
when you
close your eyes
Maybe one
day you'll
understand
why
Everything you touch
slowly die
Well you only
need the
light when
it's burning low
Only miss the
sun when its
starts to
snow

As I stepped to the edge
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience beating
Like the pulse of a drum
That hammers on and on
Until I reach the break of day
As the sun beats down on
The halfway house
Has my conscience beating
The sound in my ear
The will to persevere
As I reach the break of day

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothings left to cling onto
You got to hold on to yourself

A cry of hope
A plea for peace
And my conscience beating
It's not what I want for
Its all that I need
To reach the break of day
So I run to the edge
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience bleeding
Here lies the truth
The lost treasures of my youth
As I hold on to the break of day

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothings left to cling onto
You got to hold on to yourself

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothings left to cling onto
You got to hold on to yourself


Hold On by Green Day


This song, I believe, is one of my favourites. Whenever I feel like everything's going downhill, whenever I feel like just giving up, I listen to this song. It gives me strength and faith in myself. It always helps me out. Thank you for your time!

"Always be humble and kind". Even if I heard more inspiring lyrics, this is the most inspiring line I have heard.

Dreams of reality's peace
Blow steam in the face of the beast
The sky could fall down, the wind could cry now
The strong in me, I still smile

And I love myself
(The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs)
I love myself
(But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don't mind)
I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide)
I love myself
(One day at a time, sun gonna shine)
- Kendrick Lamar, I

These words pulled the rapper himself through a tough time and they serve as a major inspiration to me.

The last part of Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen

You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

"What do I do? What do I say?
And dad tells me to pray
So I've prayed and prayed, but the hurt won't go away
The pain gets worse, it never stops
And I've asked The Lord for us to swap."

Ocean by hillsong
Spirit leads me
Where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the water
Wherever you will call me
Take me deeper than my foot could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior.
This song has really give me joy and also strengthens my faith
