Lyrics

So this is a pretty random post. I was listening to music this morning and reflecting on how beautiful a particular verse was. Some songs are very poetic. I remember an assignment in my high school English class in which we took lines from a book and made "found poetry." I thought I'd take a stab at a similar type of thing using some of my favorite lyrics. It was much more difficult than I imagined, and it didn't turn out to have any flow, but I thought I'd post it anyway because I thought it might be fun for you to try to figure out what songs I used. The answers are posted below.


You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
We can burn brighter than the sun.
I hope some day the world will be as one.
But our scars remind us that the past is real.
And your mind is playing tricks on you my dear. 

Just don't you worry your pretty little mind.
It's not always rainbows and butterflies.
People throw rocks at things that shine.
But we can set the world on fire.

Today is winding road, 
But lights will guide you home.
