Oh
Yeah, yeah
Oh

I gave you my heart
I gave you my soul
I gave everything that I had
But ya left me in the cold

But still I have faith
Somehow I believe
That if I keep love in my heart
It will find it's way to me

I could fight
Seek revenge
But that's not who I am
No, I'm not givin' in
I will rise above

I'm gonna keep walkin'
Though it may seem far
I'm gonna keep preachin'
Even when life seems hard
Not gonna let you bring me down
I'm gonna take the high road

I'm gonna keep climbin'
Till I see the top
I'm gonna keep drivin'
Though I may get lost
Not gonna let you bring me down
I take the high road

I'm gonna get by on the high road
Yes, I will
I'm gonna get by on the high road

This pain that I feel
I will overcome
I know somewhere deep down inside
It's the pain that makes us strong
I could curse
I could shout
Take the easy way out
I forgive you
Somehow I will rise above

I'm gonna keep walkin'
Though it may seem far
I'm gonna keep preachin'
When life gets hard
Not gonna let you bring me down
I take the high road

I'm gonna keep climbin'
Till I see the top
I'm gonna keep drivin'
Though I may get lost
Not gonna let you bring me down
I take the high road

I get by
To be real
I can't keep it inside
I may fall sometimes
But I will survive

I'm gonna keep reachin'
I'm gonna keep climbin'
I'm gonna keep tryin'

I'm gonna keep walkin'
Though it may seem far
I'm gonna keep preachin'
When life gets hard
Not gonna let you bring me down
I take the high road

I'm gonna get by on the high road [Repeat: x5]

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.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
