In 1970, it was the dawn of a new era in rock music. These are three rock songs that came out in 1970, which all have lyrics that are truly thought-provoking.<\/p>\n
\u201cBridge Over Troubled Water\u201d by Simon & Garfunkel<\/p>\n
Simon & Garfunkel, made up of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, made \u201cBridge Over Troubled Water\u201d the title track of their fifth studio album together, which also happens to be their last. The song is written solely by Simon.<\/p>\n
\u201cBridge Over Troubled Waters\u201d says, \u201cWhen you\u2019re weary, feeling small \/ When tears are in your eyes \/ I will dry them all \/ I\u2019m on your side \/ Oh when times get rough \/ And friends just can\u2019t be found \/ Like a bridge over troubled waters \/ I will lay me down \/ Like a bridge over troubled waters \/ I will lay me down.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ironically, although Simon wrote it, Garfunkel sings lead on the song. It\u2019s a decision Simon regrets<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cEverything Is Beautiful\u201d by Ray Stevens<\/p>\n Ray Stevens is known for mostly comedic songs. But he does have a few serious ones, including \u201cEverything Is Beautiful<\/a>\u201c. Written by Stevens, the song is the title track of his sixth studio album.<\/p>\n \u201cEverything Is Beautiful\u201d says, \u201cEverything is beautiful \/ In it\u2019s own way \/ Like a starry summer night \/ On a snow-covered winter\u2019s day \/ And everybody\u2019s beautiful \/ In their own way \/ Under God\u2019s heaven \/ The world\u2019s gonna find a way.\u201d<\/p>\n Stevens wrote \u201cEverything Is Beautiful\u201d as the theme song for his TV variety program, The Ray Stevens Show.<\/p>\n
