Eye Of The Tiger - We Didn't Start The Fire - Imagine - Wide Open Spaces - Better Man
One of the greatest songs of the 80's, from the movie Rocky III. Inspiring Stuff!
Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance
Now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And his fortune must always be
Eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds
Still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And his fortune must always be
Eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance
Now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And his fortune must always be
Eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger...

Imagine - John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Wide Open Spaces - Dixie Chicks
Who doesn't know what I'm talking about
Who's never left home who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dream no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out West
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She traveled this road as a child
Wide-eyed and grinning she never tired
But now she won't be coming back with the rest
If these are life's lessons, she'll take the test
As her folks drive away her dad yells, "Check the oil!"
Mom stares out the window and says
"I'm leaving my girl"
She says, "It didn't seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her own folks know."
Better Man - Robbie Williams
Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe and warm
In pouring rain
Give me endless summer
Lord I feel the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time
As my soul
Heals the shame
I will grow
Through this pain
Lord I'm doing
All I can
To be a better man
Go easy on my conscience
Cos it's not my fault
I know I've been told
To take the blame
Rest assured my angels
Will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
I'm in pain
As my soul
Heals the shame
I will grow
Through this pain
Lord I'm doing
All I can
To be a better man
Once you've found that lover you're home bound
Love is all around, love is all around
I know some have fallen on stoney ground
But love is all around
Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe and warm
In pouring rain
Give me endless summer
Lord I feel the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time
As my soul
Heals the shame
I will grow
Through this pain
Lord I'm doing
All I can
To be a better man
