Words..Soothing to my soul

I was sitting here thinking of what I wanted to share with you. Remembering Diva Whitney Houston gave me some inspiration. I say yeah I think I'm happy, but there's one thing that definitely brings me happiness---lyrics/poetry/words.
We dismiss a lot of songs because of the genre. Try just concentrating on the words. They're powerful. Beautiful. So here is a small sample of lyrics that inspire me, make me happy, uplift me, keep me focused on my dreams and goals. Please share some of your favorite lyrics.

From I Look to You~~Whitney Houston
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you,
I look to you 
And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song
I look to you

'bout to lose my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm go'n make it
Nothing to do but lift my head


From Settlin'~~ Sugarland
I ain't settling for just getting by
I've had enough so so for the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high
Just enough ain't enough this time
I ain't settling for anything less than everything


From This Is My Now~~Jordin Sparks


There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself

There was a time when I was so afraid
I thought I'd reached the end, baby that was then
But I am made of more than my yesterdays

This is my now and I am breathing in the moment
As I look around I can't believe the love I see
My fear's behind me, gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then, this is my now

I had to decide, was I gonna to play it safe?
Or look somewhere deep inside, try to turn the tide
And find the strength to take that step of faith?


From Amazing~~Kanye
I'm exhausted
Barely breathing
Holding on to what I believe in
No matter what
You'll never take that from me
My reign is as far as your eyes can see

It's amazing, so amazing, so amazing, so amazing, it's amazing
