1. Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor

Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival

And he’s watchin’ us all in the eye of the tiger”
2. I Can See Clearly Now by Johnny Nash
“I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.”
3. Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson
“I’m Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It’s Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .”
“Work it, make it, do it, makes us harder, better, faster, stronger”
5. When you Believe by Whitney Houston/Mariah Carey
“There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Its hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe somehow you will
You will when you believe”
6. What a Feeling by Irene Cara
“What a feeling, bein’s believin’
I can’t have it all, now I’m dancin’ for my life

Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life”
“You only get one shot, do not miss your chance.
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime.
You can do anything you set your mind to”
8. We Are the Champions by Queen
“But it’s been no bed of roses.
No pleasure cruise – I consider it a challenge before the whole human race.
And I ain’t gonna lose.”
9. Gonna Fly Now by Bill Conti
“Trying hard now, it’s so hard now, trying hard now.
Getting strong now, won’t be long now, getting strong now, Gonna fly now.”

I can feel St. Elmo’s fire burnin’ in me, burnin’ in me”
11. Touch of Grey by The Grateful Dead
“It’s a lesson to me
The Ables and the Bakers and the C’s
The ABC’s we all must face
To try to keep a little grace
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive”
12. Fighter by Christina Aguilera
“Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter”
13. I Believe I Can Fly by R.Kelly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
(Oh) I believe I can fly”
14. Son of a Man by Phil Collins
“Oh, the power to be strong
And the wisdom to be wise
All these things will
Come to you in time
On this journey that you’re making
There’ll be answers that you’ll seek
And it’s you who’ll climb the mountain
Its you who’ll reach the peak”
15. Survivor by Destiny’s Child
“I’m a survivor
I’m not gonna give up
I’m not gon’ stop
I’m gonna work harder
I’m a survivor
I’m gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin”
“Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb, yeah!
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It’s all about, it’s all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith”
“Right now, hey
Its your tomorrow
Right now,
C’mon, its everything
Right now,
Catch that magic moment, and do it right,
Right now
Right now, oh, right now
Its what’s happening?
Right here and now
Right now
It’s right now
Tell me, what are you waiting for
Turn this thing around”
18. Jump by Madonna
“There’s only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste”
“I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus,
But I’m pushing on for that horizon,
I’m pushing on,
Now I’ve got the blowing wind against my face
Higher and higher,
We’re gonna take it,
Down to the wire,
We’re gonna make it out,
Whoa-oh-oh Higher and higher…”
“World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin down
Better change your tune
Reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky”
I like them all… but Miley Cyrus? Really?
Rush, “Far Cry”
One day I feel I’m on top of the world,
and the next it’s falling in on me
I can get back on, I can get back on.
One day I feel I’m ahead of the wheel
and the next it’s rolling over me
I can get back on, I can get back on.
