Ess42304 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I'm creating a scrapbook of lyrics, poetry etc. for my friend to encourage her to follow her dreams, to believe in herself, that I'll be there for her etc. Of course with an accompanying CD! I'm looking for songs similar to True Colours and Beautiful at the moment. But here are the rest of the songs that I've thought about: Walk On - U2 Make It Happen - Mariah Carey I Just Can't Give Up Now - Mary Mary His Eye Is On The Sparrow - Lauryn Hill You Will Know - Black Men United I'll Stand By You - The Pretenders Reach Out (I'll Be There)- Gerald Levert (spelling?) Remember Me This Way - Jordan Hill I Am Blessed - Eternal Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson I Hope You Dance - Leann Womack You Gotta Be - Desiree You've Got A Friend - Carole King Go The Distance - Hercules soundtrack Never Give Up - Yolanda Adams TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 For following your dreams, this fits the bill. Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes Jimmy Buffett I took off for a weekend last month Just to try and recall the whole year All of the faces and all of the places Wonderin' where they all disappeared I didn't ponder the question too long I was hungry and went out for a bite Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum And we wound up drinkin' all night It's these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same With all of our running and all of our cunning If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane Reading departure signs in some big airport Reminds me of the places I've been Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure Makes me want to go back again If it suddenly ended tomorrow I could somehow adjust to the fall Good times and riches and son of a bitches I've seen more than I can recall These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same Through all of the islands and all of the highlands If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine I wish I could jump on a plane So many nights I just dream of the ocean God I wish I was sailin' again Oh, yesterday's over my shoulder So I can't look back for too long There's just too much to see waiting in front of me And I know that I just can't go wrong With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same With all of my running and all of my cunning If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane If we weren't all crazy we would...... go......... insane Ken.

I resemble that thread!! :: Thanks Peaches for remembering! By the way, I am still volunteering for that place, and ALWAYS open for song suggestions! Ess, between then and now, I have come up with other songs that you may consider... Faith of the Heart - Rod Stewart Hold Your Head Up - Argent 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 Survivor - Destinys Child Three Little Birds - Bob Marley Lean on Me - Bill Withers The Moment - Melissa Etheridge ? Hope some of these help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
