Here are some more:
Fly- Hilary Duff

http://youtube.com/watch?v=zOQi5bgWYQo

LYRICS:

Any moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday.

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,

Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

All your worries, leave them somewhere else,
Find a dream you can follow,
Reach for something, when there's nothing left,
And the world's feeling hollow.

Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,

Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

And when you're down and feel alone,
Just want to run away,
Trust yourself and don't give up,
You know you better than anyone else,

Any moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of yesterday,

Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try,
Fly
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.

In a moment, everything can change.



I Dare U to Move- Switchfoot

http://youtube.com/watch?v=zkFQ3w9VXNM

LYRICS:
Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
Lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

Note to God- JoJo

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ny0GAhuRc70

LYRICS:
If I wrote a note to God
I would speak whats in my soul
I'd ask for all the hate to be swept away,
For love to overflow
If I wrote a note to God
I'd pour my heart out on each page
I'd ask for war to end
For peace to mend this world
I'd say, I'd say, I'd say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we're on

If I wrote a note to God
I would say what on my mind
I'd ask for wisdom to let compassion rule this world
Until these times
If I wrote a note to God
I'd say please help us find our way
End all the bitterness, put some tenderness in our hearts
And I'd say, I'd say, I'd say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we're on

No, no no no
We can't do this on our own
So

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we're on

If I wrote a note to God

Do what ever that may lead you to your goal. Because it is your goal, then you must realize that it is within your power to achieve it. It is so close to coming true and you know it deep within. Wait for none and explain to none why or what! Just break free from this life and its barriers! The beautiful sun shine is there, you just have to see it. Look closely.....

The Cranberries - Time is Ticking Out

http://youtube.com/watch?v=O28YoOIaXMA

We'd better think about the things we say
We'd better think about the games we play
The world went round, around and round

We'd better think about the consequences
We'd better think about the global senses
The time went out, the time went out

What about Chernobyl?
What about radiation?
We don't know, we don't know

What about deprivation?
Gluttony, the human nation?
We don't know, we don't know
For me love is all, for me love is all
For me love is all, for me love is all

Time is ticking out

Looks like we screwed up the ozone layer
I wonder if the politicians care
And time went out, and time went out

What about our children then?
Is there nothing left for them?
We don't know, we don't know
For me love is all, for me love is all
For me love is all, for me love is all
Ahh they need oxygen, ahh they need oxygen
For me love is all, for me love is all
For me love is all, for me love is all

Time is ticking out yeah
The time is ticking out

I was reading that 'Hold on' is here, so this is another song against suicide:

Lene Marlin - Story

http://youtube.com/watch?v=mEpzvlE81R8 (live version)

I heard about your story from a friend
To let go and make an end, that's what you did
You left some words saying now it would be good
You knew they'd cry, but you hoped they understood
Things you've had to face, what you have seen
To make it through each day, you tried,
Without the tears
They tried to help, but they didn't see you crawl
They knew you fought, but they never
Thought you'd fall
They never thought you'd fall.

Tell them please, how could they know
Hurts inside, no scars to show
You played the lead, and never once you failed
And the place from where you watch us now
Hope you've found your peace somehow,
Peace somehow

I heard about your story through the years
Know 'bout all your hurt and fears
I won't forget
I wrote a song that I wish for you to hear
It's about yourself and the life you couldn't bear

Tell them please, how could they know
Hurts inside, no scars to show
You played the lead, and never once you failed
And the place from where you watch us now
Hope you've found your peace somehow,
Peace somehow

I wanna remember all there's about you,
And I know there's so much
I see all the faces, the tears and embraces
Wish you could be here to see it too

Sorry for another post :S this song just came to my mind

against violence/stereotypes to be 'cool'

My Chemical Romance - Teenagers

http://youtube.com/watch?v=k6EQAOmJrbw

They’re gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you,son
So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work
They’re gonna give you a smirk
‘Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They’re gonna rip off your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

They said all teenagers scare
The living **** out of me
They coul care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in a clique
The awful names that they stick
You’re never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you’re troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did

They said all teenagers scare
The living **** out of me
They could care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

Oh yeah

They said all teenagers scare
The living **** out of me
They could care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

All together now

Teenagers scare
The living **** out of me
They could care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

Teenagers scare
The living **** out of me
They could care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

Hello zach,

I strongly suggest EARTH SONG by Michael Jackson......
The song is really powerful and was made without Harming Nature as an Exemplary...

Heal the world, The lost children and We are the world are also fit..

What do u think of Earth song?

::) ::) ::)

I just noticed that the project 'music with a mission' hasn't been updated so I thought of sharing some good songs:

Come Home by OneRepublic:
lyrics: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/onerepublic/comehome.html
here's a verse:
I get lost in the beautyOf everything i see
The world ain’t as half as bad
As they paint it to be
If all the sons
If all the daughters
Stopped to take it in
Well hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
It might start now..Yeahh
Well maybe I’m just dreaming out loud
Until then


Also there's a song called Elements by Blue:
lyrics: http://www.lyrics007.com/Blue%20Lyrics/Elements%20Lyrics.html
here's a bit from it:
Colours and fountains and mountains and trees,take just a second to stop and to think,
God was an artist painted pictures to see,
look how beautiful life can be

Awesome Huda! I'm sorry I haven't updated the Music with a Mission project page (with all the videos), but I'll try to get it 100% updated soon, once I get some free time.

Two songs about war and soldiers.. They're in the perspective of soldiers and what they go through.. Theý're not anti-war per se but they gave a great view of what these people go through every day and why they are heroes (not that I agree with the war, not at all, but I think that these soldiers are heroes every day, they risking their lifes every day because they (most of them) believe in making this world a better place and try to achieve it so here are my entries :

Hero's Song - Brendan James


http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858687840/ lyrics
If you're reading this - Tim McGraw:



http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/timmcgraw/ifyourereadingthis.html lyrics
and Dear Mr President from Pink:



http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/pink/dearmrpresident.html lyrics

and Skin (Sarah Beth) from Rascal Flatts it's about little girl with cancer..
