This is an interesting thread on another forum I frequent, so I thought I'd try it over here. Post some of your favorite/most meaningful lyrics. A song that speaks to you. You can tell us why, or you can leave it up to our individual interpretations.
I'll start out. When I got on the plane in Ft. Lauderdale after leaving my father-in-law, my mother-in-law and my wife at the hospital in West Palm Beach, I knew that was the last time I would see him alive, though I wouldn't call what he had when I left "living."
I miss him every day. This song is the first thing I listened to on the plane as we climbed to cruising altitude. I wrote in my journal and contemplated my relationship with my own father. This song reminds me of Fred (my father-in-law) but it speaks of my relationship with my father.

Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...
Where are we now?
I've got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
