Lord,I really don't know how to write a song.
I'm not always eloquent, sometimes I get it wrong.
But the thing you're doing in me, I can't describe.
What a fool I'd be if I chose to hide
this transformation, new motivation.
Thought that we were close; I've known you all this time.
But I was just living life my way, just getting by.
Thought that if I do a good deed or two,
that'd be enough to please you.
I kept the parts I wanted to,
and missed out on the real you.

[Chorus]
Now, with every step and every breath,
I give it all; hold nothing back.
With all I am, this is my choice
to live to worship you.
So, with all my heart, my soul, my mind;
I'll love you, leave it all behind.
To live my life in awe of you
is the least that I can do.

I've held on so long to all my hopes and dreams.
While you were asking me to place them all at your feet.
Let my praise be more than a song I'll sing for you.
Let me change all my ways in response to you.
I've lived for myself, Lord, I need your help.
Not I who lives, but You.

[Chorus]

For you are worthy of all honor.
(and you) deserve the sacrifice I'll give.
You've touched my heart, and now I see
what it is you want from me.
So I'll lose the things that hold me back,
so you can set me free.

[Chorus]

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
