Lyrical rewrite

no pornography
no bashing other poets(what ever that means)
no caps
no profane language

this should be fun(i think i said that about the Yoda contest) what i want is this, take the song that moves you, that you love above all other songs and re write the words, heres the catch tho, it has to be a syllable perfect rewrite, so that when i read it and have the song playing there is no discerable difference between the two, except the words of course.
just as an example here is one i did before:

and heres the song that was re wrtten:

so have fun and people lets be careful out there...always wanted to say that
