The #1 song lyrically overall in your life is what?

I'll start this thread off, I first heard this song as a teenager growing up in northeast Ohio and it took on a whole different meaning at the time and now that I just turned fifty eight these words "Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?" from the song "The River" by Bruce Springsteen really mean so much more as I reflect back on where I have been, went through and where I am at now at this stage of my existence. 

If we can PLEASE let's stick to the Thread Title and leave politics out of it? THANK YOU 

"I will win the worship in their eyes. And I will lose it"

 I had to google those words because you did not identify the song. I was ONLY three years old when this came out in 1968, wow...Vietnam was a HOTBED and yet life was still more of a peaceful existence than it is today! These songs from our generation are TRULY timeless. 

Yes Daddy Freddie.

That song was just background noise to me until one night I "heard" it. I guess we've all done this.

Another for me is "and time washes clean love's wounds unseen" (Long, Long Time)

Again it was just another song until I heard it one morning while on a business trip to Memphis in the 90's. I still remember that morning like it was yesterday. The best version of it has to be by Melanie. I'd always thought of her as a novelty singer, due to only associating her with Brand New Key in the 60's

"Long you live and high you fly
Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be"

Breathe, by Pink Floyd

Hard to say but "My Back Pages" by Dylan would be up pretty high.

 GREAT suggestion! I had Alexa play this song while getting my laundry together. Having never heard this song. It's going on my playlist. Thank you!

 Having heard some Pink Floyd in my life, this song was one that I had not experienced. It's GREAT to hear these songs that were released during my childhood that I was too young to even know about. When this was released in 1973 I was just eight years old. Thank you! 

When this song was released, I was born 8 years later.

"The Show Must Go On" by Queen

Simone by Boz Scaggs. Here’s a few samples:

Here’s to your eyes and my final demise.

Straighten your gown, throw a Manhattan down.

Conquer the room with a touch of perfume.
