Inspiring and motivating songs

Published

I have a couple of songs I listen to when I need to kick up my motivation and determination for the school day. I like Eye of the Tiger to get me going. Please suggest some songs I can add to my list. Suggest songs that inspire you to keep going. They can be old, new, any genre. Thanks

This may sound counter-productive, but I think of this song when I realize that I need to "get over" something:

Time for Letting Go by Tina Turner

My favorite for getting pumped for school/tests recently has been Kanye West-"Stronger"...gets me pumped and reminds me that "that that don't kill me...can only make me stronger"...:bugeyes:. Also "Live ya Life"-TI and Rhianna...it's funny...I'm not a HUGE fan of hip hop music but those two songs really get me pumped up for class!!!

I like Kanye's "can't wait until I get my money right, then they can tell me nothing right!" LOL. Great to keep my eyes on the prize.

This is kind of lame, but if anyone loves The Lion King as much as I do- "Hakuna Matata" puts such a smile on my face!

I'm going to add "What a wonderful world" to my list- a beautiful song that helps keep it all in perspective. Thank you to the poster that mentioned it.

Mariah Carey: Make It Happen....

This inspired me through many tough times...

Not more than three short years ago

I was abandoned and alone

Without a penny to my name

So very young and so afraid

No proper shoes upon my feet

Sometimes I couldn't even eat

I often cried myself to sleep

But still I had to keep on going

Never knowing if I could take it

If I would make it through the night

I held on to my faith

I struggled and I prayed

And now I've found my way

Chorus:

If you believe in yourself enough

And know what you want

You're gonna make it happen

(Make it happen)

And if you get down on your

knees at night

And pray to the lord

He's gonna make it happen

(Make it happen)

I know life can be so tough

And you feel like giving up

But you must be strong

Baby just hold on

You'll never find the answers

if you throw your life away

I used to feel the way you do

Still I have to keep going

Never knowing if I could take it

If I would make it through the night

I held on to my faith

I struggled and I prayed

And now I've finally found my way

Chorus x2

I once was lost

But now I'm found

I got my feet on solid ground

Thank you Lord

If you believe within your soul

Just hold on tight

And don't let go

You can make it happen

(Make it happen)
