Tell me one or two!
Songs or lyrics that resonate with a deeply held belief you have. One for me is Johnny Cash's song "Man in Black"

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's "Somewhere Over The Rainbow/ What A Wonderful World". It is mine and my lady's song. Absolutely stunning.
The Beach Boys - "God Only Knows" (and I'm an atheist!)
My main one is Simon & Garfunkel's "The Only Living Boy In NY". I can't quite put my finger on why it moves me so and in such a spiritual way but it's been my favorite song in the world since I was a teenager.
Oh, and "At The Zoo" by Simon & Garfunkel again. That song IS my religion:
"It's a light and tumble journey
From the East Side to the park
Just a fine and fancy ramble to the zoo.
But you can take a crosstown bus
If it's raining or it's cold
And the animals will love it if you do (if you do now)...
Something tells me it's all happening at the zoo
I do believe it
I do believe it's true.
Mmm mmm mmm...who-oooooa..
The monkeys stand for honesty
Giraffes are insincere
And the elephants are kindly but they're dumb
Orangutans are skeptical of changes in their cages
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum
Zebras are reactionaries
Antelopes are missionaries
Pigeons plot in secrecy
And hamsters turn on frequently
What a gas!
You've gotta come and see at the zoo...
At the zoo..."
Woo hoo!

"Reach Up For the Sunrise" by Duran Duran.
Now the time has come
The music's between us
Though the night seems young
Is at an end
Only change will bring
You out of the darkness
In this moment everything is born again
Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life
Now the fireball burns
We go round together
As the planet turns into the light
Something more than dreams to
Watch out for each other
Coz we know what it means to be alive
Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life

"Inside of You, In Spite of You" by ThouShaltNot:
http://www.thoushalt.net/ThouShaltNot_Spite.mp3
I am in the air now
I am in your lungs
I am written
I am spoken by a million flaming tongues
I'm the lens through which you see
I'm the process
I am the key
I am synapses firing bullets from a gun
I am the world's mystique
I am the words you speak
I am language
I am hidden memories that you seek
I am the sun before you see me rise
I burn still when you close your eyes
I am the soul that never dies when flesh is weak
I am inside of you in spite of you
With strength and sacred grace
But for all you do
I'll carry you now
From this bitter place
I am in your future
I am in your past
I'm the echo of your footsteps
I'm your shadow cast
I'm the heat you radiate
I am the fury and the fate
I am each beat within your heart from first to last
I'm your action without thought
I am the instinct born inside you
I'm the bones from which you drape
I am protective skin to hide you
I'm the pull that the earth exerts
I am the rain that stings and the snow that blinds
I'm the architecture of your world and mind
I am the dawn of ages
I am the days seen through
I'm final entropy
I am inside of you
I am the clouds that cover
Your way into the blue
I kiss with life to give
All this in spite of you

*smile* What a great question - it makes me smile just to think of my picks. On the other hand, I'm not sure you could classify them as "pop" songs.

They are kind of country-pop-rock, but there are so many by Diamond Rio that fit that bill, like "God Only Cries, I believe, and In God We Still Trust. They are all great!
