Songs and their lyrics evoke emotions. Inspiring songs perk us up when everything seems gloomy, remind us that we are beautiful no matter what others say, and motivate us when there seems to be no way out. Here are excerpts from the 10 best inspiring songs of all time and their key messages.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Beautiful\u2019 by Christina Aguilera<\/h3>\n

\u201c I am beautiful
\nNo matter what they say
\nWords can’t bring me down\u201d
\nThis song reminds you to see the beauty within yourself. Do not become obsessed with your imperfections, as they are your strength. Do not let other\u2019s define who you are. Let what makes you special shine through.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>\u00a0\u2018The Climb\u2019 by Miley Cyrus <\/em><\/em><\/h3>\n

\u201cThere’s always gonna be another mountain<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0I’m always gonna wanna make it move<\/em><\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Always gonna be a uphill battle<\/em>…<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 The struggles I’m facing\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0The chances I’m taking,<\/em><\/em> Sometimes might knock me down<\/em><\/em>, <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 But no, I’m not breaking.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

The ability to achieve is one\u2019s greatest asset. There will always be challenges along the way in life. No matter how difficult a journey is, it is worth seeing through to the end.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Don\u2019t Worry, Be Happy\u2019 by Bobby McFerron<\/h3>\n

\u201cDon’t worry, be happy
\nListen to what I say, “In your life expect some trouble, but when you worry you make it double”<\/p>\n

One of the best songs ever written to quell anxiety, McFerron wrote this song to help anyone take a moment, relax and join him in his happy feeling. Spending time worrying only causes more difficulty. Instead, just accept that good feeling you can illicit from how wonderful life is.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Power of Dreams\u2019 by Celine Dion<\/h3>\n

\u201cDeep within each heart
\nThere lies a magic spark
\nThat lights the fire of our imagination
\nAnd since the dawn of man
\nThe strength of just “I can”
\nHas brought together people of all nations\u201d<\/p>\n

Deep within our hearts, we all have a dream. The only reason dreams are not realized is because you do not attempt to achieve them. Never undermine your ability and have full faith that if you believe you can do it, you will be able to turn your dreams into reality.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018You Gotta Be\u2019 by Des’ree<\/h3>\n

\u201cYou gotta be, you gotta be bad
\nYou gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
\nYou gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
\nYou gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
\nAll I know, all I know love will save the day\u201d<\/p>\n

While life is full of challenges and tribulations, take them as a challenge. Release your fears, stand up for what you believe for, do not be afraid to love or to tear. Love will guide us all to succeed and be a better person.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Fireworks\u2019 by Katy Perry<\/h3>\n

\u201cCause baby, you’re a firework<\/p>\n

Come on, show ’em what you’re worth<\/p>\n

Make ’em go, oh, oh, oh<\/p>\n

As you shoot across the sky\u201d<\/p>\n

This song reminds us to never undermine about abilities. If you ever feel downtrodden or lacking ambition in life, pick yourself up and show the rest what you are worth. Shine bright and achieve what you want. Because you are special and irreplaceable.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018If Today Was Your Last Day\u2019 by Nickelback<\/h3>\n

\u201cAgainst the grain should be a way of life<\/p>\n

What’s worth the price is always worth the fight<\/p>\n

Every second counts ’cause there’s no second try<\/p>\n

So live like you’re never living twice<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t take the free ride in your life\u201d<\/p>\n

Never take life for granted. Make every day count and never allow a moment to pass by without giving it meaning. Life is better lived with every moment being lived as if it was your last chance to make a difference.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018What a Wonderful World\u2019 by Louie Armstrong<\/h3>\n

\u201cI see trees of green, red roses too
\nI see them bloom for me and you
\nAnd I think to myself what a wonderful world.<\/p>\n

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
\nThe bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
\nAnd I think to myself what a wonderful world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The song is one of the most powerful and simple messages ever written. The message: to take notice of every bit of the magnitude to life\u2019s amazing aspects. It is awe inspiring and worth appreciating in its every manifestation.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Only Time\u2019 by Enya<\/h3>\n

\u201cWho can say where the road goes
\nWhere the day flows, only time
\nAnd who can say if your love grows
\nAs your heart chose, only time<\/p>\n

Who can say if your love grows
\nAs your heart chose
\nOnly time
\nAnd who can say where the road goes
\nWhere the day flows, only time\u201d<\/p>\n

An enchanting piece that tells us that time brings forth all answers. While knowledge is imperfect, hindsight will help us piece together the answers. Faith in our future is important to keep our spirits high.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Eye of the Tiger\u2019 by Survivor<\/h3>\n

\u201cRisin’ up, back on the street
\nDid my time, took my chances
\nWent the distance
\nNow I’m back on my feet
\nJust a man and his will to survive<\/p>\n

So many times, it happens too fast
\nYou trade your passion for glory
\nDon’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
\nYou must fight just to keep them alive\u201d<\/p>\n

Never give up and keep your spirits high to strive through any adversity or obstacle.<\/p>\n
