Some memorable lyrics

Hi,

Over this weekend, I could listen to some numbers that were my favorite while in college. I realized that their lyrics continue to have the same impact on me even today. Here are some of them:

Dolly Parton's "Coat of many colors":

"....one is only poor, only if they choose to be"
"...we had no money, but I was rich as I could be"

Sly and Family stone's "Stand":

"there's a cross for you to bear
things to go through if you're going anywhere"

Jimmy Cliff's "Harder they come":

"I keep on fighting for the things I want
though I know that when you're dead you can't
I'd rather be a free man in my grave
than living as a puppet or a slave"

Bob Marley's "No woman no cry"

"good friends we have, oh, good friends we lost along the way
In this great future, you cant forget your past
so dry your tears I say"

Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge over troubled water":

"your time has come to shine
all your dreams are on their way
see how they shine
if you need a friend I'am sailing right behind
like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind"

What a weekend the one that passed by was! (No, I am trying to be poetic. Just an after-effect of listening to these numbers. Frankly, could not help it!)
