"Stand" Rascal Flatts
You feel like a candle in a hurricane Just like a picture with a broken frame Alone and helpless, like you've lost your fight But you'll be alright, you'll be alright
Chorus: 'Cause when push comes to shove You taste what you're made of You might bend 'til you break 'Cause it's all you can take On your knees you look up Decide you've had enough You get mad, you get strong Wipe your hands, shake it off Then you stand, then you stand
Life's like a novel with the end ripped out The edge of a canyon with only one way down Take what you're given before it's gone And start holdin' on, keep holdin' on
(Repeat chorus)
Every time you get up and get back in the race One more small piece of you starts to fall into place - yeah

^ ahhh i don't like gospel... I ended up finding it by the ways
It seems people often don't choose to believe in a religion by freewill but instead by a systematic tradition of imprinting the "what happens if you don't" belief system through generation to generation. The whole concept of hell is the main reason of why so many people believe
but in order to believe in God, you must have heard from word of your fellow human. And as the bible says humans are all sinful
So therefore they could of crossed the principles of whats good is good and whats bad is bad if the people who wrote the bible were indeed sinful.
Why god would allow such a hell to exist seems a little duplicitous, surely he could construct some sort of eternal prison that is more punishing and perhaps even correcting then just a simple pit of flames to torture people for there lack of faith in a God that cannot observed by our sense but instead mistaken with our own conscious

Well, if you like to overcome adversity by getting stoned, I'll recommend Ella Fitzgerald's "When I Get Low I Get High".
Meh, that's all I got right now.

That is an amazing song, Nasrudin. Good recommendations.
Navyseals101, what kind of music do you like? I'm sure I have some things that you're looking for.
but Aretha's voice didn't move you at all? That voice.. is so powerful to me. I like gospel music too though, I suppose. Then again, I just like music.
As far as Hell goes, I don't think it's a "place" that we go if we're bad. I guess I don't really believe it exists, only as part of the Illusion.

p.s. like reggae? this song is pretty bad ass. it's by Fat Freddy's Drop

Just about anything by Hatebreed. "I Will Be Heard", "Perseverance", "Live For This", etc. Just about any of those should suffice.

First one I thought of was Driving the Last Spike by Genesis
Leaving my family behind me Not knowing what lay ahead Waving goodbye, as I left them in tears Remembering all we'd said
I looked to the sky, I offered my prayers I asked him for guidance and strength But the simple beliefs of a simple man Lay in his hands, and on my head
I gave everything that they wanted But still they wanted more We sweat and we toiled Good men lost their lives I dont think they knew what for
I sold them my heart I sold them my soul I gave everything I had Ah but they couldnt break my spirit My dignity fought back, Fightback Can you hear me Can you see Dont you hear me Dont you see
We worked in gangs for all we were worth The young boys pulling the wagons We were digging the tunnel, shifting the earth It was then that it happened.
No-one knew how the cracks appeared But as it fell they all disappeared Stone fell like rain
Can you hear me, Can you see Dont you hear me Can you breathe
The smoke cleared, the dust it settled No one knew how many had died All around there were broken men Theyd said it was safe, theyd lied You could hear the cries, you could smell the fear But good fortune that day was mine And it occurred to me the heart of a good man It seems is hard to find.
Can you hear me, Can you see Dont you hear me Dont you see
We worked, how we worked like The devil for our pay Through the wind, through the snow, And through the rain
Blasting and cutting through gods country like a knife Sweat stinging my eyes, there has to be a better life
Ah but I can hear my childrens cry I can see the tears in their eyes Memories of those Ive left behind Still ringing in my ears Will I ever go back again Will I ever see her face again Ill never forget that night As they waved goodbye to their fathers
We came from the north, And we came from the south With picks and with spades And a new kind of order Showing no fear of what lies up ahead Theyll never see the likes of us again
Driving the last spike, Lifting and laying the track With blistering hands, The sun burning your back
Oh but I can hear my childrens cry I can see the tears in their eyes Memories of those Ive left behind Still ringing in my ears Well Ill always remember that night, As they waved goodbye to their fathers
We followed the rail, we slept under the stars Digging in darkness, and living with danger Showing no fear of what lies up ahead Theyll never see the likes of us again
-------------------- Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it. ~ R.W. Emerson, "Self-Reliance"
