Music has the power to inspire and rouse our deepest yearnings.
And our favourite songs have the ability to move us, uplift and transport us, change our mood, and get us into our zone. Great song lyrics are timeless and are often filled with fragments of wisdom and encouragement. The right words, and the right melody, at the right time, can have the most powerful impact of all.
