Powerful Lyrics...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was watching a certain favorite movie of mine the other day, and the lyrics to this Alanis Morrisette song really struck me. I'm not particularly a fan, but these words are powerful:

Still

I am the harm that you inflict

I am your brilliance and frustration

I'm the nuclear bombs if they're to hit

I am your immaturity and your indignance

I am your misfits and your praises

I am your doubt and your conviction

I am your charity and your rape

I am your grasping and expectation

I see you averting your glances

I see you cheering on the war

I see you ignoring your children

And I love you still

And I love you still

I am your joy and your regret

I am your fury and your elation

I am your yearning and your sweat

I am your faithless and your religion

I see you altering history

I see you abusing the land

I see you and your selective amnesia

And I love you still

And I love you still

I am your tragedy and your fortune

I am your crisis and delight

I am your profits and your prophets

I am your art I am your bytes

I am your death and your decisions

I am your passion and your plights

I am your sickness and convalescence

I am your weapons and your light

I see you holding your grudges

I see you gunning them down

I see you silencing your sisters

And I love you still

And I love you still

I see you lie to your country

I see you forcing them out

I see you blaming each other

And I love you still

And I love you still

Anybody else??? Any songs that stick with you? Any that hit you like a ton of bricks??

Music is a powerful motivator, IMHO.
