Encouraging Lyrics (for all) :)

This song has helped me a lot in the past, and it's helping me a lot now. And I figured such true and helpful lyrics would help even more when passed on to others. -Cassie


Just a Ride by Jem

Life
It's ever so strange
It's so full of change
Think that you've worked it out then
Bang
Right out of the blue
Something happens to you
To throw you off course and then you

break down
Yeah you break down
Well don't you break down
Listen to me

Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you all around
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared, don't hide your eyes
It may feel so weird inside,
But don't forget, it's just a ride

Truth
We don't wanna hear
It's too much to take
Don't like to feel out of control
So we make our plans
Ten times a day
And when they don't go our way we

break down
Yeah we break down
Well don't you break down
Listen to me

Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you all around
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared, don't hide your eyes
It may feel so weird inside
But don't forget, it's just a ride


Slowly
Oh so very slowly
Except that
there's no getting off

So living
Just gotta go with it
'Cause this ride's
never gonna stop


Break down
Don't you break down
No need to break down
No need at all

Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you all around
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared, now dry your eyes
It may feel so weird inside
But don't forget, enjoy the ride

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you all around
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared, now dry your eyes
It may feel so weird inside
But don't forget, enjoy the ride

Um, I assume the last was accidental (again)?
I notified AllanZed. I guess he's merged the two threads. Salted hasn't been much online lately.
I've also once double posted. No idea why that happened. AFAIK I didn't do any weird things. It just happened. When posting a reply, it's easy to just edit them and remove the double part.

Anyway, thanks for sharing.

This song makes me feel so much better! I used it to help me keep focused on my studies and not my worries. Thanks so much!

These are songs by a Christian band, Fireflight, that I find really encouraging. I've edited the lyrics so it's not as repetitive or long (fore warning, it's still long) so I've bolded the lyrics that I found most empowering.

*trigger warning for occasional mention of abuse*

"Unbreakable"
Where are the people that accused me?
The ones who beat me down and bruised me
They hide just out of sight
Can't face me in the light
They'll return but I'll be stronger

God, I want to dream again
Take me where I've never been
I want to go there
This time I'm not scared
Now I am unbreakable, it's unmistakable
No one can touch me
Nothing can stop me

Sometimes it's hard to just keep going
But faith is moving without knowing
Can I trust what I can't see?
To reach my destiny

Forget the fear it's just a crutch
That tries to hold you back
And turn your dreams to dust
All you need to do is just trust

"Stand Up"
Look at all the lonely hearts
Shivering out in the dark
Hiding from the truth
Cover up the proof
Demons that I've tried to hide
Imprison me in my own lies
And all that I can do is cover up the proof
Don't be afraid to...

Stand up!
Stand up if you're broken
Stand up if you feel ashamed
You are not alone when you hurt this way
Stand up if you need love
This is not judgment day
You don't have to hide
There's no need to run
Everything will be okay

Secrets got me torn apart
Trying to destroy my heart
But I can see the light
It's cutting through the night
Don't run away
Don't be afraid to...

Stand up!

"So Help Me God"
You sit beside me
And I love you
But I hate you
I don't want to feel this way
But I can't stop
You reach for my hand
But I move it
Before you can
I won't let you have the
Power once again

So help me, God
To let this go
To break this hold
To find myself
(I just need to breathe)

You think you know me
But you changed me
Into somebody
That I don't ever want to be again
I'm letting go now
Of this burden
I've been holding
I've been hurting myself now for way too long

It's not too late
To leave it all behind

"What I've Overcome"
I've got this passion
It's something I can't describe
It's so electric
It's like I've just come alive
I feel this freedom
Now that my past is erased
I feel the healing
I found the meaning of grace

If only you could see me yesterday
Who I used to be before the change
You'd see a broken heart
You'd see the battle scars
It's funny how words can't explain
How good it feels to finally break the chains
I'm not what I have done
I'm what I've overcome

I know I'll stumble
I know I'll still face defeat
These second chances will define me
So I'm moving forward
I'm standing on my two feet

I'll make mistakes and I might fall
But I won't break

"Escape"
My hands are tied, they're going numb
I don't know where they've brought me
My throat's torn raw from all my screams
But no one can hear me
In the dark it seems I lose my dignity
Between the pain and tears
There's only fear

Escape
We will not be contained
We're breaking out tonight

Searching for a crack of light
But it seems to be changing
Is the sun leaving the sky
Or is it me that is fading
In the dark unseen
I know you search for me
I feel you drawing near
You fight my fear

Fear is not our master anymore
Run with me, escape
We're breaking out tonight

This is our time
We can't let our fear define us
From this nightmare we're reborn
This is our time to escape

You're not hopeless
You're not worthless
You are loved
Don't give up
This is your time

Thank you for sharing, Evanescent. I like the music
