Do You Hear What I Hear?

I guess it's my turn now for the Music Guessing Game, or whatever it's called. I'm setting my iPod to shuffle and then I'm posting a line or two of the lyrics from each of the first twenty-five songs that play, except I'm skipping live recordings and remixes. Alright? Your job is to comment with the name and artist of the song the lyrics are from. Okay? Also, I'm going to allow you to look up the lyrics from each of the odd numbered songs (1, 3, 7, 21...), you have to guess for each of the even ones (2, 4, 12, 24...). Understand?

Here we go. *turns the music up*

1. "...You are steadfast, You are true. When the ground..."

2. "...Be careful if you think you stand, you just might be sinking..."

3. "...Beat 'em to the punch, scored another knock-down, barely bought her lunch..."

4. "...This world turning grey strikes a chord when I say..."

5. "...After what you did to her she wouldn't have any of that."

6. "The other ones state you better wait until you do a little market research..."

7. "...Taking the good with the bad and the ugly -- If we could only learn to love."

8. "...Every puddle of mud comes from tears and blood."

9. "You know what I'm going through. I know this is true, 'cause you stood in my shoes..."

10. "If confession is the road to healing forgiveness is the promise land."

11. "If I ascend into the sky or hide behind the night, I cannot run, your love is chasing me."

12. "I slip into the night then stumble toward the light..."

13. "Listen to me say I wanna sing a song for you, I wanna sing a song."

14. "Lord of the heavens, Lord of the ages..."

15. "You throw the baby with the bath water over and over again, turn the page..."

16. "On the saints this day already shines, it already shines."

17. "Gonna send us hobbits out of the shire. Here's the theme song, get your ring on."

18. "If I hide in dark and shadows fearful of each day, even there your blinding light illuminates my pathway."

19. "I see you got the joy, I've seen you live it, boy..."

20. "When it's finally caught, well, it looses its life."

21. "Just a day in the shoes of a colorblind man should make it easy for you to see..."

22. "...Yesterday's over, new one's began. You're only sick as all your secrets..."

23. "Our hope, our strong deliver: You are the everlasting God..."

24. "Once we could follow, now we cannot."

25. "This microphone will take a word and make it bigger. Oh, hello..."

Good luck at guessing. I'll come back soon and post the lyrics again with the track, artist, and album listed. Maybe the day after tomorrow (Friday). And maybe a tag I was tagged with a long time ago. If I can find it again.

Have a good Thanksgiving, my US readers! (And those who aren't in America have a good week/day anyway. Soul Skittles, do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Ukraine?)
