From Jerome Kern's All The Things You Are:

    You are the breathless hush of evening That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
And from Colors of the Wind (I couldn't pick a specific stanza, I love them both):
    You think you own whatever land you land on The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim But I know every rock and tree and creature Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

    You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Cake is pretty awesome too. From The Distance:

    No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine, He's haunted by something he cannot define. Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse, Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.
