Calling all people cooler about music than I am

[darkemeralds]

I'm looking for a song. I don't know which one, so I need your help. I'm looking for a non-religious song with lyrics having to do with redemption, someone saving someone emotionally, helping, offering a hand and a heart, letting the other person know s/he's going to be okay and isn't alone, lifting someone up, giving someone hope for the future.

That sort of thing.

It's for my Podbang entry. The author specified song lyrics for 11 out of 12 chapters but told me she drew a blank on the one, and said "go for it". I've been googling my little heart out, but popular music, she is very very big.

Suggestions? Moodier is better, but upbeat is possible too. Country, rock, pop, soul, blues, folksy--I welcome any ideas.

TIA flist-o-mine!

Just found "Up To The Mountain," which would not only also work well with this story (which has a long journey in it toward salvation), but has me hooked on her voice. I can't believe I don't know her music.

Well, I can, because me and music broke up some time ago, but I still love it and I'm thinking of getting back together.

She's an amazing songwriter--her music has been covered by the Dixie Chicks, Linda Rondstadt, Emmylou Harris, and even Bette Midler.

(Did I say amazing? I meant brilliant. One of the best artists out there.)
