The tears stream down her face onto the cold hospital bed
just like a prisoner between four ugly walls
The fear she can't control is running rampant in her head
with every day she spent just waiting for that call
And I will never leave her side
We walk the tightrope between faith and fear each moment of our lives
But then the darkest hour of night is turned to day
Another miracle, another act unfolding in this play

And I'm blown away
The wine overflows and my cup runneth over again
I'm blown away
My thankfulness grows with these blessings I can't comprehend

You raise my spirit to the sky above to fly away
To fly on eagles' wings
You life the fallen back on high again to coronate
the King above all kings
All honor, all glory
Raised to Your Majesty on eagles' wings

I looked him in the eye and played these words over and over in my mind,
but that can't be what he just said
I heard it for myself and know that life can be unkind,
but can't you see I'm much too young to lose my dad?

But I'm blown away
When You laugh at the odds for the doctors cannot know your plans
I'm blown away
You hold the keys to all life and death and all time in your hands

You raise my spirit to the sky above to fly away
To fly on eagles' wings
You life the fallen back on high again to coronate
the King above all kings
All honor, all glory
Raised to Your Majesty on eagles' wings

Every tribe and every nation
(Lift your voices and sing)
[Life a song of praise on high on eagles' wings]
All in heaven, all creation
Let the tongues of men and angels
(Lift your voices and sing)
[Let your heart reach to the sky on eagles' wings]
All ye blessed, all ye thankful, sing!

You raise my spirit to the sky above to fly away
To fly on eagles' wings
You life the fallen back on high again to coronate
the King above all kings
All honor, all glory
Raised to Your Majesty on eagles' wings

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
