Butterò questo mio enorme cuore tra le stelle un giorno
Giuro che lo farò
E oltre l'azzurro della tenda
Nell'azzurro io volerò
Quando la donna cannone
D'oro e d'argento diventerà
Senza passare per la stazione
L'ultimo treno prenderà

E in faccia ai maligni a ai superbi
Il mio nome scintillerà
E dalle porte della notte
Il giorno si bloccherà
Un applauso del pubblico pagante
Lo sottolineerà
E dalla bocca del cannone
Una canzone suonerà

E con le mani amore per le mani
Ti prenderò
E senza dire parole
Nel mio cuore ti porterò
E non avrò paura
Se non sarò bella come dici tu
Ma voleremo in cielo in carne e ossa
Non torneremo più

E senza fame, senza sete
E senza ali e senza rete
Voleremo via

Così la donna cannone
Quell'enorme mistero volò
Tutta sola verso un cielo nero, nero
S'incamminò
Tutti chiusero gli occhi
Nell'attimo esatto in cui sparì
Altri giurarono e spergiurarono
Che non erano mai stati lì

E con le mani amore, con le mani
Ti prenderò
E senza dire parole
Nel mio cuore ti porterò
E non avrò paura
Se non sarò bella come vuoi tu
Ma voleremo in cielo in carne e ossa
Non torneremo più

E senza fame, senza sete
E senza ali e senza rete
Voleremo via

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
