There is a road, no simple highway, that leads between the dawn and the dark of night. And if you go, no one may follow, that path is for your steps alone. Gratefu Dead, Ripple.
Take it easy, take it easy, don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy. Eagles

"Love of love and love of life and giving without measure, gives in return a wondrous yearn of a promise yet unseen. Live hand in hand and together we'll stand on the threshold of a dream." Moody Blues

Absolutely. There are so many artists including the Dead who were philosophers, and who prolifically wrote great stuff.

If Dylan is included: My go to lyrics:
“No reason to get excited,
The thief he kindly spoke,
There are many here among us,
Who feel that life is but a joke”

Let's not forget Joni Mitchell:
“It's life's illusions that I recall, I really don't know life at all”
“Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone.”
“Chase away the demons, and they will take the angels with them.”
"We are stardust, we are golden and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden."
"There's no comprehending
Just how close to the bone & the skin & the eyes
And the lips you can get
And still feel so alone
And still feel related"
"All romantics meet the same fate some day. Drunk and cynical and boring someone in some dark cafe."
“It's life's illusions that I recall, I really don't know life at all”
“Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone.”
“Chase away the demons, and they will take the angels with them.”
"We are stardust, we are golden and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden."
"There's no comprehending
Just how close to the bone & the skin & the eyes
And the lips you can get
And still feel so alone
And still feel related"
"All romantics meet the same fate some day. Drunk and cynical and boring someone in some dark cafe."

Oh, listen to the children while they play, Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say,
Skip a rope.
Daddy hates mommy, mommy hates dad, Last night you shoulda heard the fight they had,
Gave little sister another bad dream, She woke us all up with a terrible scream.
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool, Now what was that they said about a Golden Rule?
Never mind the rules, just play to win, And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin.

Don’t care whether it’s Rock, Classic Rock, R&B, Jazz, ... so many times I just don’t get hit by the lyrics while listening to the song as I do when I see them in type. Some of these really touched me.
