HOPEFUL SONGS,SONGS ABOUT HOPE, ABOUT HEALING. NOT NECESSARILY RELIGIOUS, BUT INSPIRING

When the River Meets the Sea (John Denver and the Muppets):  

"Patience, my brother and patience, my son
In that sweet and final hour
Truth and justice will be done"

Caroline (Concrete Blonde):

"In another life I see you as an angel flying high
And the hands of time will free you
You will cast your chains aside
And the dawn will come and kiss away
Every tear that's ever fallen from your eyes
Behind those eyes I wonder"

The Rising (Springsteen)

Anthem (Leonard cohen)

Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot

Sting: "A friend of mine has AIDS, and it's a privilege to be around him because he has turned a corner and every moment to him is charged with meaning. He's so aware all of the time, and so he inspired 'Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot'. It's a song about death, or dealing with death in a way that offers some sort of hope. I actually think it's quite an uplifting song - the intent is for it to be uplifting."
Q magazine, 5/96

Maybe I'm Amazed (Macca)

"Maybe I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby won't you help me understand"

Among Angels (Kate Bush)

based on Psalm 40

Good Morning Starshine (Oliver)
