Yeah, You could be the greatest
You can be the best
You can be the king kong banging on your chest

You could beat the world
You could beat the war
You could talk to God, go banging on his door

You can throw your hands up
You can be the clock
You can move a mountain
You can break rocks
You can be a master
Don't wait for luck
Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself

Standing in the hall of fame
And the world's gonna know your name
Cause you burn with the brightest flame
And the world's gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame

You could go the distance
You could run the mile
You could walk straight through hell with a smile

You could be the hero
You could get the gold
Breaking all the records that thought never could be broke

Do it for your people
Do it for your pride
Never gonna know if you never even try

Do it for your counrty
Do it for you name
Cause there's gonna be a day

When your, standing in the hall of fame
And the world's gonna know your name
Cause you burn with the brightest flame
And the world's gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame

Be a champion, Be a champion, Be a champion, Be a champion

On the walls of the hall of fame

Be students
Be teachers
Be politicians
Be preachers

Be believers
Be leaders
Be astronauts
Be champions
Be true seekers

Be students
Be teachers
Be politicians
Be preachers

Be believers
Be leaders
Be astronauts
Be champions

Standing in the hall of fame
And the world's gonna know your name
Cause you burn with the brightest flame
And the world's gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame

That's a nice song.   

Here's one I love from John Legend, "If You're Out There." 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvWhSUqpQBk

My daughter did a lyrical dance to it with her dance mates.  I blogged about it last year.  If you want to see the dance, here it is (taken during rehearsal):

Good thread to start moonagel. Keep them coming.

[Luther]

Indeed. Good thread.

I'm not rich. And never will be. But I'm thankful for the things I that I do have and the person I have become. I look into the mirror and I love what I see!

Still love this song.

I remember this song.  It was a one hit wonder I think.

This remake really touched me.  I cried so much watching this a week or two ago.  It's like she was singing to me.

I also saw this performance on the voice as well and I agree, it was really touching.

[Sleipnir]

This is my all time pick me up song when things get hard....

"For The Moments I Feel Faint" - Relient K

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo17gxmEs7E

Am I at the point of no improvement?
What of the death I still dwell in?
I try to excel, but I feel no movement.
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?

[Chorus:]
Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you you're wrong.

Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong

I throw up my hands
"Oh, the impossibilitie s"
Frustrated and tired
Where do I go from here?
Now I'm searching for the confidence I've lost so willingly
Overcoming these obstacles is overcoming my fear

[Chorus]

I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
Gather my insufficiencie s and
place them in your hands, place them in your hands, place them in your hands

Great songs, Sleipnir and prima_donana.   

Here's one that gets me teary-eyed.

"Oh Sailor" by Mr. Little Jeans

"When you feel like you're out there on your own
Know there is someone watching over you
When out at sea, feels love can let go
Oh sailor, we will blow the wind right
But if you die out there, tearing you into two
I hope you know that you could sail right on
I hope you know you got the ocean blue."

This one puts a warm smile on my face.

"Lights" by Aviators

On the turning away - pink floyd
The song speaks about our inability to act because of our own weaknesses.  Seems to have a theme about helping each other and not turning a blind eye towards those in need.

"We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite"

[zena]

LOL Michael W. Smith has many hit wonders. 

Oh...didn't know...or don't remember.  I just remember that one.

I like them.
