Best song; lyrically?

[Randy]

Have you ever been moved by some powerful lyrics? What is your favorite song; lyrically?

 

[DrLeftover]

let me get back to you on this one

 

[Raven]

Could name so many, but this is one of them. Most of the songs that 'move' me are depressing/sad songs.

I had a friend many years ago
One tragic night he died
The saddest time of my life
For weeks and weeks I cried
Through the anger and through the tears
I've felt his spirit through the years
I'd swear, He's watching me
Guiding me through hard times

(chorus)
I feel it once again
It's overwhelming me
His spirit's like the wind
The angel guarding me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
He's watching over me

We shared dreams like all best friends
Blood brothers at the age of ten
We lived reckless, he paid the price
But why? Why did he have to die?
It still hurts me to this day
Am I selfish for feeling this way?
I know he's an angel now
Together we'll be someday

(Chorus)

 

[Crusader]

Only one I can think of is "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac.
