Songs that strike your heart

I saw the video to this song by Nelly Furtado today, and the words really hit home:

"In God's Hands"

I looked at your face
I saw that all the love had died
I saw that we had forgotten to take the time

I, I saw that you couldn't care less about what you do
You couldn't care less about the lies
You couldn't find the time to cry

We forgot about love
We forgot about faith
We forgot about trust
We forgot about us

Chorus:
Now our love's floating out the window
Our love's floating out the back door
Our love's floating up in the sky,
In heaven, where it began
Back in God's hands

You said that you had said all that you had to say
You say: baby, it's the end of the day

We gave a lot
but it wasn't enough
We got so tired
[In God's Hands lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

that we just gave up

Chorus:
Now our love's floating out the window
Our love's floating out the back door
Our love's floating up in the sky,
In heaven, where it began
Back in God's hands, back in God's hands

bridge:
We didn't respect it
We went and neglect it
We didn't deserve it
But I never expected this

Our love floated out the window
Our love floated out the back door
Our love floated up in the sky,
to heaven, it's part of a plan
it's back in God's hands, back in God's hands

oh we didn't last, it's a thing of the past
no we didn't understand just what we had
oh I want it back, just what we had
I want it back, just what we had

What songs hit home to your heart?

Re: Songs that strike your heart

PEACE, PERFECT PEACE by Lucky Dube

We cry for peace, perfect peace
Lord, we cry for love in this neighbourhood
I tell you no water can put out this fire
Only the lord can save us
We cry for peace in South Africa

These are the only lyrics over and over in the song. Its the music and the choir that kills me.

NEVER GIVE UP THE PRIDE

-Luciano

Quote:
Trade winds keep on blowing
my life keeps on going
Jah's love keeps on flowing

Just yesterday I was hoping for tomorrow
and I trust and pray it would bring a brighter future
my life has been filled with ups and downs woh-woh-woh-
sometimes I never knew wich way to turn woh-woh
when the going gets rough
the tough gets going
cause I never give up my pride
even though I'm broken up inside
I'll never give up my pride
even though they try to push me aside
I'll never give up my pride

Don't you remember when I didn't depend on hopes and dreams
I had to push on through
trying to find the ways and means
my life has been filled with twists and turns, woh, woh
sometimes I never knew which way to turn -woh-woh
when the going gets rough
the tough gets going
cause I never give up my pride
even though I'm broken up inside
I'll never give up my pride
though at times my world may seem to capsize
I'll never give up my pride

Trade winds keep on blowing
my life keeps on going
Jah's love keeps on flowing
so I never give up my pride
even though I'm broken up inside
I'll never give up my pride
though my world may seem to sometimes to capsize
I'll never give up my pride

Although I paid my dues
they won't let me be what I wanna be
but they would like to see me succumb into society
my life has been filled with ups and downs woh-woh-
sometimes I never knew which way to turn woh-woh
When the going gets rough
the tough gets going
cause I never give up my pride
even though I'm broken up inside
I'll never give up my pride
even though my world may seem to capsize

Re: Songs that strike your heart

Every time this song comes on my MP3 player I get lost in it. It makes me sad, yet its the lives of so many in the ghetto.

Look
Bounty Killer


Chorus:
Look into my eyes, tell me what you see?
Can you feel my pain? am I your enemy?
Give us a better way, things are really bad,
The only friend I know is this gun I have.
Listen to my voice, this is not a threat
Now you see the nine are you worried yet?
You've been talking 'bout' you want the war to cease
But when you show us hope, we will show you peace.

Verse 1:
Look into my mind, can you see the wealth?
Can you tell that I want to help myself?
But if it happen that I stick you for your ring
Don't be mad at me it's a survival ting.
Look into my heart, I can feel your fear
Take another look can you hold my stare?
Why are you afraid of my hungry face?
Or is it this thing bulging in my waist?

Chorus

Verse 2:
Look into my life, can you see my kids?
Let me ask you this,do you know what hungry is?
Well in this part of town, survival is my will
For you to stay alive you've got to rob and kill.
Look into my house would you live in there?
Look me in the eyes and tell me that you care,
Well I've made up my mind to end up in the morgue
Right now I'd rather die, cause man a live like dog.
Verse 3:

Look down on my shoes, can you see my toes?
The struggle that we live nobody really knows
Stop and ask yourself, would you live like that?
and if you had to then, wouldn't you bus gun shot?
Look into the schools, tell me how you feel?
You want the kids to learn without a proper meal
Den what you have in place to keep them out of wrong?
If they drop out of school dem a go bus dem gun.
