Who are you?I'm a frightened, fickle person
Fighting, crying, kicking, cursing
-Fiona Apple,
Better Version of MeAre you male or female?I'm just a girl,
Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype
-No Doubt,
Just a Girl
What place do you love best?
Kentucky
You are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me
Kentucky
I miss your laurels and your redbud trees
When I die, I want to rest upon your graceful mountains so free
For that is where God will look for me
-The Everly Brothers, Kentucky
What do you look like?
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
-Nine Days, Story of a Girl
What do you want to say to your best friend?
And I wish all the people I love the most
Could gather in one place,
And know each other and love each other well.
And I wish we could all go camping,
And lay beneath the stars,
And have nothing to do and stories to tell.
We'd sit around the campfire
And we'd make each other laugh,
Remembering when...
And you're the first one I'm inviting.
Always know that you're invited, my friend.
-Sara Groves, Every Minute
What do you want to say to the one you love?
You're no longer alone.
We've found a space to name our own.
There aint no need to fret or fuss.
We've got all the strength we need in the shape of us.
And I know you've had it tough.
Your road's been bumpy and rough.
But say goodbye to a world that you once knew.
I have every faith in me and you.
-Ian Britt, The Shape of Us
What do you want to say to the one you hate?
I could say that you were a dirty dog,
but that's an insult to the fleas.
-Patti Rothberg, This One's Mine
What's your best quality?
Every day I write the list
Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
(a thousand beautiful things)
And even though it's hard to see
The glass is full and not half empty
(a thousand beautiful things)
-Annie Lennox, 1000 Beautiful Things
What's your worst quality?
Some folks seem to think I only got one problem,
Can't find nobody as crazy as me.
-Alison Krauss, Crazy as Me
Where do you see yourself in one year?
I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true
-Sara Evans, I Could Not Ask for More
What's your secret?
Well I guess she closed her eyes
And just imagined everything's alright
But she could not hide her tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
They were sent to wash away those years
My anger's violent
But still I'm silent
When tragedy strikes at home
I know this decadence Is shared by millions
Remember you're not alone
Remember you're not alone
-Creed, Wash Away those Years
What is something you like about yourself?
I'm here to re-write this tragedy
One line at a time
Hold on, I'm changing all the scenery
It's okay we'll be fine
-Sara Groves, Rewrite this Tragedy
What does love mean to you?
Love is a gentle word,
Even when your pride is hurt,
Won't turn you away,
Won't bring up yesterday.
When I'm growing tired
And I feel fate is driftin',
I remember love is what I'm working toward.
Love is a heavy kiss,
When you don't deserve it,
It forgives, forgets it,
Never turns it's back on you.
-Meg and Dia, Love Is
What makes you angry?
I can always tell a liar
And I always know a thief
I know 'em like my family
Because brother I’m the chief
I’m a dangerous crusader
Because I need to tell the truth
So I’m turning over tables
In my own living room
Then I might nail indictments up
On every door in town
‘Cause its not right or safe to let your conscience down
-Derek Webb, Nobody Loves Me
What makes you happy?
I used to hide in a party crowd
Bottled up inside
Feeling so left out
Standing in a corner wearing concrete shoes
With my frozen smile
And my lighted fuse
Now every time I start to feel like that
I roll my heart out like a welcome mat
Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing you'll ever see
In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl
-Martina McBride, Happy Girl
What makes you sad?
And nobody calls her baby,
Nobody says "I love you so,"
Nobody calls her baby,
I guess she'll never know.
-Lost and Found, Baby
How do you feel when you think about your biggest mistake?
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met
-Regina Spektor, Samson
Some words to live by...
You can tell someone you love 'em
From the bottom of your heart
And believe that it's the truest thing you've known
And even if you never break the promises you make
The river's gonna keep on rolling on
And if you haven't got a dollar
Not a penny to your name
Somebody's gonna miss you when you're gone
And even if you never find
Just A Little Peace of Mind
The river's gonna keep on rolling on
-Amy Grant, It is Well/The River's Gonna Keep on Rolling
