sorry had to ask it without the "your" in their or it'll get reported. So which song do you think best describes the way you see the world and the way you interact with your fellow human beings?
(and don't say 'Imagine' by Lennon cause that's too easy, be creative.)

Maureen good song
2007-03-26 21:16:40 · update #1
More than one but the first song that came into my mind was:
He Ain't Heavy... He's My Brother
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he, to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on our way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
(by: Neil Diamond)

Freedom from superstition, tolerance and understand for all people regardless of their ideals and sexual orientations and intercourse, the flexibility to substantiate subject concerns that are astonishing in front of me and not deny or misinterpret their existence, an in intensity understanding of technological know-how which will help me for the time of the time of my existence, dignity (i do now not might desire to spend my existence worshipping a god that should or might probably now not exist), and yet humility (i understand i'm an animal, and, in spite of the certainty that i'm an sensible animal, i'm now not rather greater valuable to diverse animals i.e. it extremely isn't like I unquestionably have a soul and that they do now not and that they have have been given been in basic terms located in this earth for my use and that i'm consistently on the bright of the nutrients chain).

You already heard my suggestions of other songs, but as an agnostic with way too many lyrics of too many random songs in my head, I'll also chime in here with some new songs, because I can.
-----
Rankin Family, 'Rise Again.'
When the waves roll on over the waters and the ocean cries
We look to our sons and daughters to explain our lives
As if a child could tell us why
That as sure as the sunrise, as sure as the sea
As sure as the wind in the trees
We rise again in the faces of our children
We rise again in the voices of our song
We rise again in the waves out on the ocean
And then we rise again
When the light goes dark with the forces of creation across a stormy sky
We look to reincarnation to explain our lives
As if a child could tell us why
That as sure as the sunrise, as sure as the sea
As sure as the wind in the trees
We rise again in the faces of our children
We rise again in the voices of our song
We rise again in the waves out on the ocean
And then we rise again
-----
Joni Mitchell, 'Circle Game'
Yesterday a child came out to wander
Caught a firefly inside a jar
He was fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round in the circle game
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like "When you're older," must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round...
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
And they tell him,
"Take your time, it won't be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down"
And the seasons they go round and round...
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
And the seasons they go round and round...

Toad the Wet Sprocket, 'Nothing Is Alone' (Glen Phillips was all of 19 years old when he wrote this - I find that astounding.)
Something rushes over me and I find myself standing here
Lift my eyes up to the sky and offer a silent prayer
Sometimes all the shouting stops and the restlessness loses hold
And I cry out to everything that nothing is alone
If the winter won't turn me, then the summer can't burn me
And the rain will never fall upon a restless soul
Nothing is alone

I don't listen to this type of music but the lyrics to Christina Aguilera's song 'Beautiful' says it all:
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the fame, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone and the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words won't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words won't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

"Get By" - Talib Kweli
"Life is a beautiful struggle"
(to the douche above, clearly you have enough time to be on a web forum putting non answers to questions, maybe you should listen to some music)

Sorry I don't have the time to listen to songs and reflect on which ones reflect my views on life, and humanity. I'm not 12
