Song Lyrics

I love to sing--and I do it all the time. When I'm sad, it makes me feel better. When I'm happy, I can't help bursting into song. When I'm nervous, singing relaxes me.
Often when we sing along to songs, we don't realize what we're saying. So that's why I wrote out these lyrics. Read them and see what they mean--most of the ones here are inspirational songs, or just songs that I like. If you know the tune, feel free to sing along as you read the words, provided that you are not in a public library, of course.
NOTE: These songs are not mine. I just thought I'd write out the lyrics to some of my favorite songs.

All In All

You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all.
Seeking you as a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool
You are my all in all.

(Chorus:)
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is your name.
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is your name!

Taking my sin, my cross, my shame
Rising again I bless your name
You are my all in all.
When I fall down you pick me up
When I am dry you fill my cup
You are my all in all.

Both Sides Now

--Joni Mitchell-- Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air,
And feather canyons ev'rywhere,
I've looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the sun,
They rain and snow on ev'ryone.
So many things I would have done,
But clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down and still somehow
It's clouds' illusions I recall;
I really don't know clouds at all.

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels,
The dizzy dancing way you feel,
As ev'ry fairy tale comes real,
I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show,
You leave 'em laughing when you go.
And if you care, don't let them know,
Don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall;
I really don't know love at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say "I love you" right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds,
I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange,
They shake their heads, they say I've changed.
But something's lost but something's gained,
In living ev'ry day.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall;
I really don't know life at all.

Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying

Don't let the sun catch you crying,
The night's the time for all your tears.
Your heart may be broken tonight,
But tomorrow in the morning light;
Don't let the sun catch you crying.

The nighttime shadows disappear,
And with them go all your tears.
For the morning will bring joy
For every girl and boy, so
Don't let the sun catch you crying.
We know that crying's not a bad thing,
But stop your crying when the birds sing.

It may be hard to discover,
That you've been left for antoher
But don't forget that life's a game
And it can always come again. Oh
Don't let the sun catch you crying.
Don't let the sun catch you crying,
Oh no, oh oh oh.

Man of La Mancha (the musical)

The Impossible Dream

To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow,
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong,
To love pure and chaste from afar,
To try when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star!

And this is my quest
To follow that star,
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far;
To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause!

And I know, if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm,
When I'm laid to my rest,
And the world will be better for this;
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage,
To reach the unreachable stars.

Step By Step

Oh God, you are my God,
And I will ever praise you.
I will seek you in the morning,
And I will learn to walk in your ways.
And step by step you'll lead me,
And I will follow you all of my days.
