Sometimes songs make such an impact...

"The Change" (my fave, performed by who else but Garth?)
Written by: Tony Arata, Wayne Tester

"One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm

And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

This heart
Still believes
The love and mercy still exist
While all the hatred rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss

And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone

I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world we know
Never changes me

What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me "

"Alone again tonight
Without someone to love
The stars are shining bright
So one more wish goes up
Oh, I wish I may
And I wish with all my might
For the love I'm dreaming of
And missing in my life
You'd think that I could find a true love of my own
It happens all the time
To people that I know
Their wishes all come true
So I've got to believe
There's still someone out there who is meant for only me
I GUESS I MUST BE WISHIN' ON SOMEONE ELSE'S STAR
IT SEEMS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE
KEEPS GETTIN' WHAT I'M WISHIN' FOR
WHY CAN'T I BE AS LUCKY AS THOSE OTHER PEOPLE ARE
I GUESS I MUST BE WISHIN' ON SOMEONE ELSE'S STAR
I sit here in the dark and stare up at the sky
But I can't give my heart one good reason why
Everywhere I look
It's lovers that I see
Seems like everyone's in love, with everyone but me"
Bryan White~"Someone Else's Star"~

"All or Nothing" (O-Town) STORY OF MY LIFE
"You know I'd fight for you, but how can I fight someone that isn't even there? I've had the rest of you, now I want the best of you, I don't care if that's not fair...


I want it all or nothing at all.
There's nowhere left to fall.
When you reach the bottom, it's now or never.
Is it all or are we just friends?
Is this how it ends?
With a simple telephone call, you leave me here with nothing at all."

"There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do, go to the ends of the earth for you, make you happy make your dreams come true, To make you feel my love"

"You take away...I feel the same...All those promises, you promised only pain...You can't feel my anger, you can't feel my pain, you can't feel my torment driving me insane"

quotes from Bryan White songs...
"Before I knew what was going on, I was going, going gone"
"It seems like if you believe in a dream enough, it has to come true"
"There is a dream deep inside my head and it may seem like it's breaking the thread that holds me to you"

"There's an awful lot of breathing room, but I can hardly move"
Matchbox Twenty~"If You're Gone"~

"I have never let anything have this much control over me
I work too hard to call my life my own
And I've made myself a world and it's worked so perfectly
But it's your world now, I can't refuse
I've never had so much to lose
Oh, I'm shameless...
You know it should be easy for a man who's strong to say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong
I've never lost anything I've ever missed
But I've never been in love like this"
Billy Joel~"Shameless"

"There's a little bit of something me in everything in you"
Matchbox Twenty~"If You're Gone"

"If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?"
