REO Speedwagon, Keep Pushin'
I used to be lonely 'til I learned about livin' alone
I found other things to keep my mind on
And I'm gettin' to know myself a little bit better
Whoa-oh, I keep pushin' on
Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Takin' Care of Business
If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day

When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, oh, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, oh, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights
The warmth of your love's like the warmth from the sun
And this will be our year, took a long time to come
Don't let go of my hand, now darkness has gone
This will be our year, took a long time to come
And I won't forget
The way you helped me up when I was down
And I won't forget
The way you said "Darling, I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there, and we've only just begun
This will be our year
Took a long time to come
And this will be our year, took a long time to come
Don't let go of my hand, now darkness has gone
This will be our year, took a long time to come
And I won't forget
The way you helped me up when I was down
And I won't forget
The way you said "Darling, I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there, and we've only just begun
This will be our year
Took a long time to come
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no, I got to keep moving
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no, I got to keep moving
Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
Peter Gabriel and Youssou N'Dour - "Shaking the Tree"
"shaking the tree" reminds me that we're making hard changes....and opening up opportunities

Although I haven't formally ranked my all-time favorite lines, this song has a candidate for top 30, at least:
"Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then."
