Most Powerful Song

• ernest_t_bass

  

  To you, personally, what song(s) encompasses the most power in your life? Whether you are having a bad day/great day, energetic/lethargic, etc... What song(s) (music and/or accompanying lyrics) brings you to complete peace? What song(s) have the most power to/for/over you?
  
  At the top of my list is Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here:
  
  So, so you think you can tell
  Heaven from Hell,
  Blue skies from pain.
  Can you tell a green field
  From a cold steel rail?
  A smile from a veil?
  Do you think you can tell?
  
  Did they get you to trade
  Your heroes for ghosts?
  Hot ashes for trees?
  Hot air for a cool breeze?
  Cold comfort for change?
  And did you exchange
  A walk on part in a war,
  For a lead role in a cage?
  
  How I wish, how I wish you were here.
  We're just two lost souls
  Swimming in a fish bowl,
  Year after year,
  Running over the same old ground.
  What have we found?
  The same old fears.
  Wish you were here.

  Josh Groban's recording of "You Raise Me Up" is one of my favorites. There are others but I can't envision them at the moment.

  Very, very, very good song.
  
  
  I've heard it said that a man would climb a mountain
  Just to be with the one he loves
  How many times has he broken that promise
  It has never been done.
  I've never climbed the highest mountain
  But I walked the hill of calvary
  
  Chorus:
  Just to be with you, I'll do anything
  There's no price I would not pay
  Just to be with you, I'll give anything
  I would give my life away.
  
  I've heard it said that a man would swim the ocean
  Just to be with the one he loves
  All of those dreams are an empty emotion
  It can never be done
  I've never swam the deepest ocean
  But I walked upon the raging sea
  
  Repeat chorus
  
  (Bridge) I know that you don't understand
  the fullness of My love
  How I died upon the cross for your sins
  And I know that you don't realize
  how much that I gave you
  But I promise, I would do it all again.
  
  Just to be with you, I've done everything
  There's no price I did not pay
  Just to be with you, I gave everything
  Yes, I gave my life away.

  There are a few. This is the song I've known the most, though.
  
  Amazing Grace
  
  Amazing grace
  How sweet the sound
  That saved a wretch like me
  I once was lost
  But now i'm found
  Was blind but now i see
  
  'twas grace that taught
  My heart to fear
  And grace that fear relieved
  How precious did
  That grace appear
  The hour i first believed
  
  Through many dangers
  Toils and snares
  I have already come
  'twas grace that brought me
  Safely thus far
  And grace will lead me home
  
  And when this heart
  And flesh shall fail
  And mortal life shall cease
  I shall possess
  Within the vail
  A life of joy and peace

  Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
  
  Having a child makes this song even more powerful. I can't even imagine what it would be like to lose my daughter the way that Clapton lost his son.
