There’s a word for that… 
Maybe a lover comes along
Maybe in story or in song
Maybe the heart is really strong
A million lemmings can’t be wrong
One of my favorite lyrics ever, from Romeo and Juliet (Happy Endings) by Andrew Ratshin.
Right Now - Chris Gaines (aka Garth Brooks)
Or “Right Now” by Van Halen.
Different song.
Those aren’t the complete lyrics of the songs. And in the case of “In Taberna”, the lyrics are from a medieval manuscript.
… and in the case of Chanson d’un jour d’ete, those are only a third of the song’s lyrics; the English translation is my own.

Savage Garden’s “Affirmation” comes to mind.
I believe in karma; what we give is what we get returned.
I believe you can’t appreciate real love til you’ve been burned.
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side.
I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye.
From Pink Floyd’s Dogs:
Who was born in a house full of pain.
Who was trained not to spit in the fan.
Who was told what to do by the man.
Who was broken by trained personnel.
Who was fitted with collar and chain.
Who was given a pat on the back.
Who was breaking away from the pack.
Who was only a stranger at home.
Who was ground down in the end.
Who was found dead on the phone.
Who was dragged down by the stone.
Kristopherson’s “The Taker”
He’s a giver, he’ll give her the kind of attention that she’s never known.
He’s a teacher, he’ll teach her to open the doors that she can’t on her own.
He’s a lover, he’ll love her in ways that she’s never been loved before.
He’s a getter, and he’ll get her by getting her into a world she’s been hungering for.
He’s a charmer, he’ll charm her with money and manners that I’ve never learned.
He’s a leader, he’ll lead her across pretty bridges he’s planning to burn.
He’s a talker, and he’ll talk her right off of her feet, but he won’t talk for long, cause
He’s a doer, and he’ll do her the way that I’d never, but damned if he won’t do her wrong.
One of Kris’s best.
