Post your favourite song lines

there is a land not far from the ears of sound
the eyes of sight can't see
it's over the trees
you'll be there by tomorrow's breeze

few people get there quick by their chosen road
they don't know it quicker to go
by natural velocity

Wale - bad

verse 1

'Bad girls ain't no good, and the good girls ain't no fun
And the hood girls want a smart nigga, college girls all want a thug
So it seems that we fiend what we don't need'

This is a mans,mans,mans world
But it would be nothing, nothing
Without a women or a girl

Now I'm just chasing time
With a thousand dreams I'm holding heavy
And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severed
Don't tell me our youth is running out
It's only just begun

If I asked you for good news
Would you smile and turn away?
It's like a bad dream
That is too afraid to wake

"This is a fair request, and I promise I will not judge any person only as a teenager.
You will constantly remind yourself that some of my generation judges people by their race,
their belief, or the color of their skin, and that this is no more right
than saying all teenagers are drunken dope-addicts or glue-sniffers...."

Want to feel burning flames when you say my name.
Want to feel passion flow into my bones
Like blood through my veins

sometimes I wish I could fly,
spread my wings and soar away

If you're so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?
And if you're so clever, then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very entertaining, then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very good-looking, why do you sleep alone tonight?
I know
'Cuz tonight is just like any other night
That why you're on your own tonight.
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms

It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
It's over, over, over

It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
It's over, over, over

Love is natural and real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is natural and real
But not for such as you and I, my love

"Naive" by sleeping at Last

Religion is a breeding ground
where the devil's work is deeply found,
with teeth as sharp as cathedral spires,
slowly sinking in.

God knows that I've been naive
but i think it makes him proud of me.
now it's so hard to separate
my disappointments from his name.

because shadows stretch behind the truth,
where stained glass offers broken clues
and fear ties knots and pulls them tight.
it leaves us paralyzed.

but in the end such tired words will rest.
the truth will reroute the narrow things they've said.
the marionette strings will lower and untie
and out of the ashes, love will be realized.

God knows that we've been naive
and a bit
nearsighted to say the least.
it's broken glass at children's feet
that gets swept aside unexpectedly.


.....................................................

I've got a sink full of dishes to do but I won't do them today.
I've got rent coming due I ain't got money to pay.
A bad summer ahead but I think that I'll stay.
Letters I have to write but I don't know what to say.
I've got things I think I would steal if I wasn't afraid,
And things I should do, but let's go smoke in the shade.
Jobs that I ought to find, but there's no freedom in trade,
Businessmen I'll forgive for the money they made.
Because if I spend all my time being mad about all the things that there are to be mad about,
When will we have the time to take the bastards down?
I'm walking downtown to sleep in a park because the cops all say we can't sleep in a park.
Maybe this is going to be stupid, but I'm going to find out.
Some liberals will hate our guts when we walk in the street,
And some will hate us because they love the police,
Because I know that no ballot is going to represent me.
If that's the point of all this, then don't count on me.
What I hear about Oakland has got me thinking,
That I might have been too much of a cynic.
I don't know if this is stupid, but I'm gonna find out.
