Inspiring Songs (well, to me, anyway)

[smurasaki]

In a rare fit of wanting to share things that are important to me (and risk people thinking they're stupid), I decided to share the songs that I find particularly encouraging.  There are other songs that also inspire me, but these are the ones that don't need some context to make sense.  I'm linking to the lyrics and YouTube, if I can find them on YouTube.  Most of the songs are country or folk, but a few are rock.

(Oddly, considering that I'm not religious, some of the songs have religious bits or overtones.  Somehow that doesn't matter to me.)
