Here's mine:

"Take what you need to make each day sweet
But then just like grains of wheat
When it's over
You've got to blow it to the fans of the windmill"

'Bonus points' to ye who knows the song!

"You've Got to Take the Bitter With the Sweet" delivered quite sexily by the one and only Wanda Rogers.

"If your heart is breaking
'Cause your dream's not coming true
Leave a little room to start again

If your faith is shaken
Though it seems you thought it through
Leave a little room for you to mend"

During my retirement speech after 36 years of public school teaching, I surprised my colleagues by breaking out and singing these lyrics ,similar to the Oprah Show appearance, which were the sentiments I was feeling:
"But now it's my turn
If I don't have all the answers
At least I know I'll take my share of chances
Ain't no use of holding on
When nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain
'Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me
And I'll let you go
'Though I know it won't be easy."

"If your heart is breaking
'Cause your dream's not coming true
Leave a little room to start again

If your faith is shaken
Though it seems you thought it through
Leave a little room for you to mend"

:)

Great lyrics from a great song.
