Forever Yours Nightwish (from the album Century Child)
Fare thee well, little broken heart Downcast eyes, lifetime loneliness
What ever walks in my heart Will walk alone
Constant longing for the perfect soul Unwashed scenery forever gone
Whatever walks in my heart Will walk alone
No love left in me No eyes to see the heaven beside me My time is yet to come so I'll be forever yours
Whatever walks in my heart Will walk alone

"Ordinary Miracle" ~ Sarah McLachlin
It’s not that usual when everything is beautiful It’s just another ordinary miracle today
The sky knows when its time to snow You don’t need to teach a seed to grow It’s just another ordinary miracle today
Life is like a gift they say Wrapped up for you everyday Open up and find a way To give some of your own
Isn’t it remarkable? Like every time a raindrop falls It’s just another ordinary miracle today
Birds in winter have their fling And always make it home by spring It’s just another ordinary miracle today
When you wake up everyday Please don’t throw your dreams away Hold them close to your heart Cause we are all a part Of the ordinary miracle
Ordinary miracle Do you want to see a miracle?
Its seems so exceptional Things just work out after all It’s just another ordinary miracle today
The sun comes up and shines so bright It disappears again at night It’s just another ordinary miracle today
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

"Words" ~ Lucinda Williams
I would rather suffer in sweet silent solitude Deathly defiant from drowning out Filthy sounds stumbling ugly and crude Between the lips of your beautiful mouth
Deep down within me words move in phrases Frozen and still 'til they decide To melt and drip over the pages Until that moment they live inside
My words enjoy the feel of the paper Better than mingling with your consonants Once they get going they never waver And they slip in between your if, ands, and buts
When my words are hiding between the lines Then I'm afraid they won't hear me call What if they fail me without a sign What if they hardly surface at all
Screaming and throwing your weight around My words choose knowledge over politics You can't kill my words, they know no bounds My words are strong and they don't make me sick
They still remain my only companion Loyal and true to the very end They'll never ever completely abandon Ever give up the paper and the pen

In The Hands of Love By Vittorio, from the album "Vittorio"
Somewhere there's a man who's dreaming And while he sleeps, someone is scheming to undermine Over time More headlines bring more confusion Our leaders draw their own conclusions for you and me But do they see
There's a wind of change that's blowing And a hunger ever growing Can you hear the voice of revolution this time? As the heroes rise in glory And the brave recount their story Is there any sense in fighting fire with fire
Leave tomorrow in the hands of love Hear the cry of freedom rise above All our hearts will beat in time All we want is peace of mind
I hear laughter through the crying I know that on this new horizon There'll be no tears, if there's no fear All the theories that divide us Maybe someday will unite us If only we could see through our children’s eyes
Leave tomorrow in the hands of love Hear the cry of freedom rise above All our hearts will beat in time All we want is peace. All the scars will heal in time All we want is peace of mind

The Lara Fabian concerts got me to pull out some of my Sarah McLachlin cds. These two musical/lyrical gems are from "Afterglow". Back to back on the album, they are absolutely beautiful:
"Push" ~ Sarah McLachlin
Click Here For Larger Version Of Video Watch more SMOSH videos at LiveVideoEvery time I look at you the world just melts away All my troubles all my fears dissolve in your affections You've seen me at my weakest but you take me as I am And when you fall you offer me a softer place to land
You stay the course you hold the line you keep it all together You're the one true thing I know I can believe in
I get mad so easy but you give me room to breathe No matter what I say or do 'cause you're to good to fight about it Even when I have to push just to see how far you'll go You wont stoop down to battle but you never turn to go
You stay the course you hold the line you keep it all together You're the one true thing I know I can believe in
There are times I cant decide when i cant tell up from down You make me feel less crazy when otherwise I'd drown But you pick me up and brush me off and tell me I'm OK Sometimes thats just what we need to get us through the day
You stay the course you hold the line you keep it all together You're the one true thing I know I can believe in
"Answer" ~ Sarah McLachlin
I will be the answer At the end of the line I will be there for you While you take the time In the burning of uncertainty I will be your solid ground I will hold the balance If you can't look down
If it takes my whole life I won't break, I won't bend It will all be worth it Worth it in the end Cause I can only tell you what I know That I need you in my life When the stars have all gone out You'll still be burning so bright
Cast me gently Into morning For the night has been unkind Take me to a Place so holy That I can wash this from my mind The memory of choosing not to fight
If it takes my whole life I won't break, I won't bend It will all be worth it Worth it in the end 'Cause I can only tell you what I know That I need you in my life When the stars have all burned out You'll still be burning so bright
Cast me gently Into morning For the night has been unkind

I remember seeing this group in concert once and they sang this song. The name of the group is WhiteHeart, and the song is "Somewhere In Between". It's about a young son or daughter with parents who are getting a divorce.
Now, there are different reasons why marriages do not work out, and this is in no way a judgement on divorce. But it really struck me when the lead singer of the group introduced this song by saying that we are living in a world today where over half of all marriages end in divorce. People tell the children of these seperations that it's okay, and that it is very common nowadays. But the children, regardless of how common it may be, only see mom over here, and dad over there, and find themselves......somewhere in between. It's tough. I know all too well:
"Somewhere In Between" ~ WhiteHeart
It's night, you are in your room But you're not at home, you never felt so alone One, their dreams were one They were so in love, but it wasn't enough Now your future is divided, they live on separate streets Your heart's suspended somewhere in between
Somehow, you must find the release Let go of your grief Find hope for tomorrow Somewhere, in the depths of your soul is His peace you must know When your heart is somewhere in between
Torn between the two They're fighting for your heart And it pulls you apart Love, you ache to love But you are filled with doubt It seems there's no way out But you are just a victim, you are not to blame It's not for you to carry all that shame
Somehow, you must find the release The end of your grief The hope for tomorrow Somewhere, in the depths of your soul is His peace you must know The river that flows with love Love, the love of Our Father Through every hour you'll know...
Somehow, in His arms of peace you will find your release The hope for tomorrow Somewhere, in the depths of your soul The river will flow When your heart is somewhere in between

I post this song for Leona, who writes some of the best songs that I have had the blessing to read:
"Prayer" ~ Hayley Westenra
Let your arms enfold us Through the dark of night With your angels hold us Till we see the light
Hush, lay down your troubled mind The day has vanished and left us behind And the wind - whispering soft lullabies Will soothe - so close your eyes
Let your arms enfold us Through the dark of night With your angels hold us Till we see the light
Sleep, angels will watch over you And soon beautiful dreams will come true Can you feel spirits embracing your soul So dream while secrets of darkness unfold
Let your arms enfold us Through the dark of night With your angels hold us

I heard this song on a movie I watched this weekend called "Constellation" about a family who gathered together for a funeral and the things they had to sort out between them and within themselves. The film gets a very poor rating at IMDB.com , but I thought it was quite good, and very thought-provoking. The song was very well placed. "Full Of Grace"~ Sarah McLachlin The winter here's cold, and bitter it's chilled us to the bone we haven't seen the sun for weeks too long too far from home I feel just like I'm sinking and I claw for solid ground I'm pulled down by the undertow I never thought I could feel so low oh darkness I feel like letting go If all of the strength and all of the courage come and lift me from this place I know I could love you much better than this full of grace full of grace my love So it's better this way, I said having seen this place before where everything we say and do hurts us all the more its just that we stayed, too long in the same old sickly skin I'm pulled down by the undertow I never thought I could feel so low oh darkness I feel like letting go If all of the strength and all of the courage come and lift me from this place I know I could love you much better than this full of grace full of grace my love

Vox ~ Sarah McLachlan
In the desert of my dreams I saw you there And I'm walking towards the water steaming body cold and bare But your words cut loose the fire and you left my soul to bleed And the pain that's in your truth's decieving me, has got me scared
Oh Why?
Through your eyes the strains of battle like a brooding storm You're up and down these pristine velvet walls like focus never forms My walls are getting wider and my eyes are drawn astray I see you now a vague deception of a dying day
Oh Why?
I fall into the water and once more I turn to you And the crowds were standing, staring, faceless, cutting off my view to you They start to limply flail their bodies in a twisted mime And I'm lost inside this tangled web in which I've lain entwined You're gone and I'm lost inside this tangled web in which I've lain entwined
Oh Why

I'll Stand By You - Chrissie Hynde/Billy Steinberg/Tom Kelly
Oh, why you look so sad? Tears are in your eyes Come on and come to me now Don't be ashamed to cry Let me see you through 'cause I've seen the dark side too When the night falls on you You don't know what to do Nothing you confess Could make me love you less
I'll stand by you I'll stand by you Won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you
So if you're mad, get mad Don't hold it all inside Come on and talk to me now Hey, what you got to hide? I get angry too Well I'm a lot like you When you're standing at the crossroads And don't know which path to choose Let me come along 'cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you I'll stand by you Won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you Take me in, into your darkest hour And I'll never desert you I'll stand by you
And when... When the night falls on you, baby You're feeling all alone You won't be on your own
I'll stand by you I'll stand by you Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you Take me in, into your darkest hour And I'll never desert you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you Won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you Won't let nobody hurt you I'll stand by you

I Walk Alone (Tarja Turunen, from the album "My Winter Storm")
Put all your angels on the edge Keep all the roses, I'm not dead I left a thorn under your bed
I'm never gone
Go tell the world I'm still around I didn't fly, I'm coming down you are the wind, the only sound
Whisper to my heart when hope is torn apart and no one can save you
I walk alone Every step I take I walk alone
My winter storm Holding me awake It's never gone When I walk alone
Go back to sleep forever more Far from your fools and lock the door They're all around and they'll make sure
You don't have to see What I turned out to be no one can help you
I walk alone Every step I take I walk alone
My winter storm Holding me awake It's never gone When I walk alone
waiting up in heaven I was never far from you Spinning down I felt your every move
I walk alone Every step I take I walk alone
My winter storm Holding me awake It's never gone When I walk alone

"My Immortal" - Ben Moody Amy Lee
I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave 'Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have All of me
You used to captivate me By your resonating light Now I'm bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts My once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along

LADY IN RED Music & Lyrics : Chris de Burgh
I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight I've never seen you shine so bright I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance Theyre looking for a little romance Given half a chance And Ive never seen that dress youre wearing Or that highlights in your hair That catch your eyes I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me Cheek to cheek Theres nobody here Its just you and me Its where I wanna be But I hardly know this beauty by my side Ill never forget the way you look tonight
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side And when you turned to me and smiled it took my breath away And I have never had such a feeling such a feeling Of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The lady in red is dancing with me Cheek to cheek Theres nobody here Its just you and me Its where I wanna be But I hardly know this beauty by my side Ill never forget the way you look tonight
I never will forget the way you look tonight The lady in red My lady in red I love you

Boy And The Ghost (Tarja, from the album "My Winter Storm)
The streets are empty. Inside it´s warm. His hands are shaking. They locked the door. A voice is calling, Asking to get in.
All he wanted was a toy All he needed was a gentle heart To lead him through the dark When his dreams are running wild. Boy and the ghost, Fire´s not burning. The lights went out, The lights went out.
Big family dinner, The untold pain. Their eyes are sparkling On his frozen face. Angel´s calling, Asking to get in.
All he wanted was a toy. All he needed was a gentle heart To lead him through the dark When there´s nowhere left to fall. Boy and the ghost. His eyes are burning. The lights went out. The dream is on.
Wake up, wake up: There´s an angel in the snow. Look up, look up: It´s a frightened dead boy, With so much hate, Such bad dreams. He could have seen. The toy´s the key, But no one saw, No one saw.
All he wanted was a toy; All he needed was a beating heart To lead him through the dark. Boy and the ghost. Despero, solitas, debilis, desolo. Despero, solitas, debilis, desolo. When there´s nowhere left to fall, Nowhere to hide. The silence is hurting. Inside it´s cold. Sleep or die. Nowhere to go, Nowhere to hide. His light went out.

Lost Northern Star (Tarja, from the album "My Winter Storm")
Legend says that when grief overpowers happiness the northern star loses its light and falls down on earth where thee become a man. One person alone can help.
I´m the one who leaves shadows in your room at night; I´m the reason you´re listening Enlightening your eyes. When Pan meets Apollo down with the sin, They will send tears of angels Though kindness won´t win.
Lost northern star, buried in sorrow, I´ll guard your mind. Let demons howl outside.
Where the calm fields of snow Become one with the sky, I am there; I am waiting as time passes by. I set up the weather To suit how you feel. Drop rain down with wishes, Build grace out of steel.
Lost northern star, Buried in sorrow, I´ll guard your mind. Let demons howl outside.
My soul burns.
Sending dream flakes your way, Painting pictures to help you each day. Yet you don´t know I´m there.
Lost northern star, Buried in sorrow, I´ll guard your mind. Let demons howl outside.
My soul burns.
