Damn... I was so thinking of "Hallelujah" when I read the original post. Love, love, love that song (by anyone, although I hold a special place in my heart for Jeff Buckley.)
Now I'm off to think of other beautiful songs, which will be difficult, since I'll be singing this one for the rest of the day...
Edit: Oh, and I get where you're coming from, Baraka... how many times I've cringed from bad lyrics, whether it be ALL the lyrics, or just a particularly bad word choice in an otherwise great song. You're right, though, that once the lyrics are set to music, we don't notice as much.
