10 Song Lyrics that Keep Me Going

Here are 10 lyrics that are important to me and what they mean to me. They keep me going when I'm having a bad day.

"Don't let the past get you down/Don't let them push you around"
Artist - July For Kings
Song - "Orion"
Album - Unknown

I love these lyrics because they remind me not to dwell on the past - there are always new and great things to come. They remind me to keep moving forward with life. The past is behind us - it will always be a part of who we are but we cannot let it bring us down.

"Don't let anyone/Tell you that you're not strong enough/Don't give up/There's nothing wrong with just being yourself/That's more than enough/So come on and raise your voice/Speak your mind and make some noise"
Artist - Hannah Montana
Song - "Make Some Noise"
Album - Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus

Be yourself. Don't let others words get you down. Don't be afraid to say what you want, and stand up for what you believe in. It is very important to be yourself and stand up for what you believe. It helps define who you are. These lyrics kind of remind me of a quote from Oprah Winfrey - "Always take a stand for yourself, your values. You're defined by what you stand for."

"And all at once the crowd begins to sing/Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same"

Sometimes the right thing is the hardest thing to do, but it is important to always do the right thing.

"I find hope and it gives me rest/I find hope in a beating chest/I find hope in what eyes don't see/I find hope in your hate for me"
Artist - Hanson
Song - "Great Divide"
Album - The Walk

I love these lyrics. When you are down and out, you can find hope in the littlest things. There is hope all around, even in places where you least expect it to be.

"It's a beautiful day/Don't let it get away"

Life is beautiful. Each day is beautiful. Don't waste a day. Enjoy each day as it is. These lyrics I use when I am not having a great day - it reminds me not to let the day waste away. Each day is beautiful - and I need to take advantage of that.

"It's hard to beat the system/When we're standing at a distance/So we keep waiting/Waiting on the world to change"

When I wan to see change, this quote reminds me that I need to do something about it. Things are not going to just change on their own.

"I see trees of green, red roses too/I see the bloom for me and you/But I think to myself what a wonderful world"

These lyrics remind me to appreciate the little things in life - the green trees, the red roses, the blue skies, and much more. It reminds me to take everything in and appreciate it. Take nothing for granted. Enjoy the beautiful world.

Artist - O.A.R. (Of A Revolution)
Song - "I Feel Home"
Album - Souls Aflame

Sometimes when you feel out of place and far away from home, something little that is familiar to you makes everything better. It makes you feel as if you belong, as if you were at home. That is why I like these lyrics - they let me know that I can feel at home no matter where I am.

"And when the night is cloudy/There is still a light that shines on me/Shine on until tomorrow/Let it be"

Sometimes it's okay just to let things be. We shouldn't worry so much about our problems. Sometimes you just have to accept things the way they are, but life keeps moving on.

When I'm having a bad day these lyrics remind me to appreciate life - to celebrate being a live and enjoy life. This reminds me to be thankful for my life.
