write your fav. song lyrics the ones that grab you and wont let go here are mine dante's prayer

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me...


Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and the fire

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone

I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

jeff buckley's version of "hallelujuah"

well i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord,
but you don't really care for music, do ya?
and it goes like this,
the fourth, the fifth,
the minor fall and the major lift.
the baffled king composing hallelujuah.

hallelujuah, hallelujuah, hallelujuah, hallelujuah.

well your faith was strong, but you needed proof.
you saw her bathing on the roof,
her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya.
but she tied you to her kitchen chair,
and she broke your throne and she cut your hair,
and from your lips she drew a hallelujuah.

hallelujuah, hallelujuah, hallelujuah, hallelujuah.

well baby, i've been here before.
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor.
you know, i used to live alone before i knew ya.
and i've seen your flag on the marble arch,
and love is not a victory march;
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujuah.

hallelujuah, hallelujuah, hallelujuah, hallelujuah.

well there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below,
but now you never show that to me, do ya?
but remember when i moved in you,
and the holy dove was moving too,
and every breath we drew was hallelujuah?

hallelujuah, hallelujuah, hallelujuah, hallelujuah.

well maybe there's a god above,
but all i've ever learned from love
is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya.
and it's not a cry that's here at night,
it's not somebody who's seen the light,
it's a cold and it's a broke hallelujuah.

hallelujuah, hallelujuah, hallelujuah, hallelujuah.
