"Leave behind your sorrows
  Let this day be the last
  Tomorrow there’ll be sunshine
  And all this darkness past
  
  Big wheels roll through fields
  Where sunlight streams
  Oh meet me in a land of hope and dreams"

-Bruce Springsteen: Land of Hope and Dreams

"In the twilight Rainey walked to the station along streets of stone. Through Pennsylvania and Ohio his train drifted on. Through the small towns of Indiana the big train crept, as he lay his head back on the seat and slept."

-Bruce Springsteen: Black Cowboys

"Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
  Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
  Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
  Look for me Mom I'll be there
  Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
  Or decent job or a helpin' hand
  Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
  Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me." 

-Bruce Springsteen: The Ghost of Tom Joad

”Frankie’s diner, an old friend

  on the edge of town

  The neon sign spinning round

  Like a cross over lost and found

  The fluorescent lights

  flick over Pop’s Grill

  Shaniqua brings the coffee and asks

  “Fill?” and says “Penny for your

  thoughts now my boy, Bill”

 -Bruce Springsteen: Girls In Their Summer Clothes

“The pages of Revelation
  Lie open in your empty eyes of blue
  I watch you slip that comb through your hair

  and this I promise you

  I'll work for your love, dear
  I'll work for your love
  What others may want for free
  I'll work for your love”

-Bruce Springsteen: I'll work for your love
