Song number two is "Say" by John Mayer. This song is an example of transcendentalism because it encourages the listener to be honest and open about what they think in the lines "Even if your hands are shaking, and your faith is broken, as the eyes are closin', do it with a heart wide open: Say what you need to say". Speaking your beliefs is a big transcendental value. It also promotes sticking to what you believe, even if you're the only one in the line "Walkin' like a one man army, fighting with the shadows in your head". Overall, this song is a prime example of the transcendental beliefs.
