Post lyrics of any song you'd like! Doesn't even have to be the entier song, either.
Solsbury Hill
by Peter Gabriel
Climbing up on Solsbury hill,
I could see the city light.
Wind was blowing; time stood still.
Eagle flew out of the night.
He was something to observe.
Came in close; I heard a voice.
Standing, stretching every nerve,
Had to listen; had no choice.
I did not believe the information,
I just had to trust imagination.
My heart going boom, boom, boom,
"Son," he said, "grab your things,
I've come to take you home."
~//~
To keep in silence, I resigned.
My friends would think I was a nut.
Turning water into wine,
Open doors would soon be shut.
So I went from day to day,
Though my life was in a rut.
'Till I thought of what I'd say,
Which connection I should cut.
I was feeling part of the scenery.
I walked right out of the machinery.
My heart going boom, boom, boom,
"Hey," he said, "grab your things,
I've come to take you home."
~//~
When illusion spin her net,
I'm never where I wanna be,
And Liberty, she pirouette,
When I think that I am free.
Watch my empty silhouettes,
Who close their eyes, but still can see.
No one taught them etiquette.
I will show another me.
Today, I don't need a replacement.
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant,
My heart going boom, boom, boom,
"Hey," I said, "you can keep my things,
They've come to take me home."

Just beautiful. Absolutely poetic and moving.by Peter Gabriel
