Favorite line from a song?

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too

I like this because someone once made the observation to me "sounds like communism"

Excuse me mister
Can't you see the children dying?
You say that you can't help them,
mister you're not even trying.
Excuse me mister
Just take a look around.
Oh, mister just look up and you will,
You'll see it's coming down.
Oh, excuse me mister but I'm, I'm a mister too.
And you're givin' mister a bad name,
mister like you.
So, I'm taking the mister from out in front of your name,
'cause it's a mister like you that puts the rest of us to shame.
it's a mister like you, puts the rest of us to shame.

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

For meaningfulness, pretty much any line from Billy Joel's Summer, Highland Falls:
"They say that these are not the best of times,
But they're the only times I've ever known . . . .
But we are always what our situations hand us,
It's either sadness or euphoria."

For fun:
"Send lawyers, guns and money. The s**t has hit the fan."

It's a tree of life to them that hold fast to it and all its supporters are happy.

So so you think you can tell, heaven from hell...PF

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys 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.

Are you in bad mood?
Don't you wanna talk about it?
Did I say somethin' rude?
You don't have to cry about it.
Aren't you feelin' okay?
Would you like a little company?
Or did you have a bad day?
Are you mad at me? -- let it show
Don't tell me nothing -- I don't wanna know

There's nothing I hate more than nothing
Nothing keeps me up at night
I toss & turn over nothing
Nothing could cause a great BIG fight

Hey -- what's the matter?
Don't tell me nothing.

I might be old but I'm someone new, she said
I'm so sore that I could cry, always
In the night lay your tired arms
She will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her

In this great future you can't forget your past, so dry your tears

you're packing a suitcase for a place
none of us have been
a place that has to be believed
to be seen

That was my dad's anthem to us when we were growing up!

I also have a fondness for:

I love you, the best
Better than all, the rest -- The Doors, Indian Summer

because I got married to that song

I sing this to my toddler quite often!
