It's a Nice Day because the song "It's a Nice Day" is free.

I went to copy this video off my cable recorder and it said it was copy-protected. Then I thought, wait a minute, the meaning of the song sounds like it came from a place (group) that believes that the beauty of it should be free.

So I looked it up online, and it was true!

(preview shmeview, the whole song plays,

It's a ♪ Nice Day ♪:

then there is Mahalia Jackson version.

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I’m weak, I’m worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I’m weak, I’m lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

I got the lyrics from a google search..depending on who's singing and the arrangement they can and probably are different. These are supposed to be a Mahalia Jackson Version.

"Barcelona" by Jewel

Barcelona where the winds all blew
And the churches don't have windows but the graveyards do
Me and my shadow are wrestling a gain
Look out stranger, there's a dark cloud moving in
But if you could hear the voice in my heart it would tell you
I'm afraid I am alone
Won't somebody please hold me, release me
Show me the meaning of mercy
Let me loose
Fly, let me fly, let me fly
Super paranoid, I'm blending, I'm blurring, I'm bleeding into the scenery
Loving someone else is always so much easier
But I hold my self hostage in the mirror
But If you could hear the voice in my heart it would tell you
I'm tired of feeling this way
God, won't you please hold me, release me
show me the meaning of mercy
Let me loose
Let me fly, let me fly
I won't be held down, I wont be held back
I will lead with my faith
The red light had been following me
But don't worry mother
It's no longer my gravity
hold me, release me
Show me the meaning of mercy
Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly

Hands:
Jewel - Hands Lyrics

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
It didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after
We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
'Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
I am never broken
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are God's hands


Song: Life uncommon
Album: Spirit
[" Spirit " CD]

Don't worry mother it'll be all right
And don't worry sister say your prayers and sleep tight
It'll be fine lover of mine
It'll be just fine
Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And you shall lead a life uncommon
I've heard your anguish I've heard your hearts cry out
We are tired we are weary but we aren't worn out
Set down your chains, until only faith remains
Set down your chains
And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength to that
Which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And we shall lead a life uncommon
There are plenty of people who pray for peace
But if praying were enough it would have come to be
Let your words enslave no one and the heavens will hush themselves
To hear our voices ring out clear
With sounds of freedom
Sounds of freedom
Come on you unbelievers, move out of the way
There is a new army coming and we are armed with faith
To live, we must give
To live
And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend our strength to that we wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And we shall lead... (a life uncommon)
Lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend our strength to that which we wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And we shall lead a life uncommon


Ok you all now know I am a Jewel fan, but I love the CD Spirit...It knocks me off my feet.

I don't know, that song just hits me in the gut with her addition. I used to say it like, the song is so beautiful that it glamorizes whatever you're doing — no matter how ugly. In an instant, all becomes pitch perfection. The reminder of that moment when we realize that we would do it all 1000 times over, in an instant, just - to - be - that.

Whatever "that" is of course. But for a little while, she's it.

I like the song but I can't say I vouch for the video.

I almost feel like it's newsworthy though. The idea that everything should be free, especially from those who profess to have 'access' to God.

I had just heard the song on the radio and the DJ "suggested" that I go to the Switchfoot website "if" I was curious about the video...Right after that, the "James Dobson minute" came on. Needless to say, I nearly lost my shoes.

That's when I decided to go to the switchfoot website to see the video . And as advertised on-my-Christian-radio-station, it was there. FOR FREE!

"For Free" = Freedom. This gesture symbolizes the way it always should be.

(ps, if you just got up, you'll want to take the title to heart)

"Awakening" from Switchfoot

PPS, freedom = heaven.

I really wish I had the song to download here. I have Eternal's album, they are hard to find, I actually bought a 3 cd set , andok yes, I am a fan.LOL

I Am Blessed Lyrics
» Eternal
Ooh, hmm
Here in the silence I say a prayer
Though I've never seen you somehow I know you're there
You're in the faces of the people that I meet
You're as silent as the Earth beneath my feet
So if I should complain that all I have is not enough
Forgive me, I've been given so much

And I am blessed, every time I look into my baby's eyes
I think of all the friends who've touched my life
I realise in a world where some have more and some have less
I have love and I am blessed

So many changes this world can put you through
Sometimes it's hard to find a way if a heart can get confused
But then I hold you and it all falls into place
You've given me what time cannot erase
So when I'm feeling down or feel sorry for myself
I look around and it's easy to tell

That I am blessed, every time I look into my baby's eyes
I think of all the friends who touched my life
I realise in a world where some have more and some have less
I have love and I am blessed

Every time I look into my baby's eyes

I realise I think of all the friends who touched my life

And I am blessed (I am blessed)
Every time I look into my baby's eyes (I look into your eyes)
I think of all the friends who have touched my life
I realise (I realise) you've given me such peace and happiness
In this world where some have more and some have less
I am loved
And I am blessed

ZOEgirl - You Get Me

[davidb]

People Are People--Depeche Mode

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

So were different colours
And were different creeds
And different people
Have different needs
Its obvious you hate me
Though Ive done nothing wrong
Ive never even met you
So what could I have done
I cant understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
Help me understand
Help me understand

Now youre punching
And youre kicking
And youre shouting at me
And Im relying on your common decency
So far it hasnt surfaced
But Im sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fist (head to your fists)
I cant understand what makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

I cant understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I cant understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I cant understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
I cant understand (people are people)
What makes a man (why should it be)
Hate another man
Help me understand...

[BrentRichards]

Hey, Anne Murray!

And, I'm embarrassed to like this song, but ... how gay am I?



If you knew me, you'd know how painful it is to admit to liking a song by a boy-band, but ... Odd video and bad lip-synching, but I love the lyrics and tune is catchy ...

No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back

I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know I'll love forever
I know, no matter what

Castings Crowns is my favorite Praise and Worship group. This song "Stained Glass Masquerade" says a great deal to me and my life and how I have felt for so many years. Sometimes I still feel like this at times. It almost always brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. They didnt release a video, this is one that was done by someone on YouTube I thought was pretty good.

Enjoy, and really listen to the lyrics.

Prayer of St Francis of Assisi , Sarah Maclachlan

[Emproph]

..it’s the perfection of every aspect of that oneness. without exception

Not that this song has anything to do with that.. unless you believe in that statement.. which I do.. but hadn’t considered when I began this sentence.. this sentence being a part of that perfect oneness, and now I don't know how to finish..... ... .. . ..anyway:
