I don't know if you really listen to song lyrics, but I do. Great songs are like poetry. They take you to the place inside the words, your own version of the song.
If you don't know what I mean, read this one.

And if you do, then you already know these lyrics are in the top 10.

So, so you think you can tell 


Heaven from Hell, 


Blue skies from pain. 


Can you tell a green field 


From a cold steel rail? 


A smile from a veil? 


Do you think you can tell? 



And did they get you to trade 


Your heros for ghosts? 


Hot ashes for trees? 


Hot air for a cool breeze? 


Cold comfort for change? 


And did you exchange 


A walk on part in the war 


For a lead role in a cage? 



How I wish, how I wish you were here. 


We're just two lost souls 


Swimming in a fish bowl, 


Year after year, 


Running over the same old ground. 


What have we found? 


The same old fears. 


Wish you were here.
