If you are a serious song writer and you stand to gain profit from the song, it is critical that you talk with a copyright attorney. Copyright law is law, and it is one of the easiest for otherwise well-meaning people to just plain ignore. Copyright law is complicated, and an attorney is the only way to go. You might have grounds for claiming "fair use", which means that under certain circumstances people can use parts of protected material within their own creative work. It's tricky-- don't assume anything. You may have to pay for the use of the lines. Applicable law may state that violations occur whether or not your use of the material resulted in any income for you. Also, there are many different kinds of rights that you can purchase. If your intention is to upload the song as a video, then you need synch rights (synchronization) to have the lines used in the context of a video/motion picture. You can go ahead and write the song-- nothing keeps you from doing that. The critical part is what you do next. Do the right thing. Better to pay for material that is not yours rather than have the song make you a fortune, and get dragged into court to have some of the fortune taken away.
