"Anthem"
Rush
(Fly By Night)

Know your place in life is where you want to be
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward...no use in looking 'round
Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down

Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
The wonders of the world, wonders of the world
Wonders of the world they wrought

Live for yourself...there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more

Well, I know they've always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yet it was for me, not you, I came to write this song



"Aerials"
System of a Down
(Toxidity)

Life is a waterfall,
we're one in the river, one again after the fall.
Swimming through the void, we hear the words,
we lose ourselves, but we find it all.
'Cause we are the ones that wanna play,
always want to go, but you never want to stay.
And we are the ones that want to choose,
always wanna play, but you never wanna lose.

Aerials, in the sky.
When you lose small mind you free your life.

Life is a waterfall,
we drink from the river then we turn around and put up our walls.
Swimming through the void, we hear the words,
we lose ourselves, but we find it all.
'Cause we are the ones that want to play,
always want to go, but you never want to stay.
And we are the ones that wanna choose,
always wanna play, but you never wanna lose, oooohhh.

Aerials in the sky,
when you lose small mind you free your life.
Aerials, so up high,
when you free your eyes, eternal prize.

Aerials in the sky,
when you lose small mind you free your life.
Aerials, so up high,
when you free your eyes, eternal prize.



"Liberty"
The Grateful Dead

Saw a bird with a tear in his eye
Walkin' to New Orleans my oh my
Hey there Bird, wouldn't you rather die?
Than walk this world when you're born to fly?
If I was the sun, I'd look for shade
If I was a bed, I would stay unmade
If I was a river I'd run uphill
If you call me you know I will
and if you call me you know I will

Ooo Freedom
Ooo Liberty
O...Leave me alone
to find my own way home
O..to find my own way home

Say what I mean and I don't give a damn
I do believe and I am who I am
Hey now Mama come and take my hand
Whole lotta shakin' all over this land

If I was an eagle I'd dress like a duck
Crawl like a lizard and haul like a truck
If I get a notion I would climb this tree
Chop it down and you can't stop me
O..chop it down and you can't stop me

Ooo Freedom
Ooo Liberty
O...Leave me alone
to find my own way home
O..to find my own way home

Went to the well but the water was dry
Dipped my bucket in the clear blue sky
Looked in the bottom and what did I see?
The whole damned world looking back at me

If I was a bottle I'd spill for love
Sake of mercy I would kill for love
If I was a liar I'd lie for love
Sake of my baby I'd die for love
Sake of my baby I'd die for love

Ooo Freedom
Ooo Liberty
O...Leave me alone
To find my own way home
O..to find my own way home

Ooo Freedom
Ooo Liberty
O...Leave me alone
To find my own way home
O..to find my own way home
I'm gonna find my own way home



"My Way"
Frank Sinatra

And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!

This probably falls under 3b) - but obviously after that person has been deeply wounded:

I Am a Rock
(P. Simon)

A winter's day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

When I was just a little girl, I asked my mother, "what shall I be?"
"Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?"
Here's what she said to me:
"Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be. The future's not ours to see. Que sera, sera."
