Triumph.
Fight The Good Fight.
1981.

Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong.
You got to read between the lines.
Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid.
We can make it through another day.

Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Still Unbroken.
2009.

Given the number of tragedies that have occurred to members of Lynyrd Skynyrd over the years, this song is perfect for the survivors.

I guess I've lost everything I've had.
But I'm not dead, at least not yet.
Still alone, still alive, still unbroken.

Johnny Nash.
I Can See Clearly Now.
1972.

Oh, yes I can make it now the pain is gone.
All of the bad feelings have disappeared.
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for.

It's gonna be a bright (bright).
Bright (bright) sunshiny day.

Rare Earth.
I Just Want To Celebrate.
1971.


Well, I can't be bothered with sorrow.
And I can't be bothered with hate, no, no.
I'm using up the time but feeling fine, every day.
That's why I'm telling you I just want to celebrate.
I just want to celebrate another day.
Oh, I just want to celebrate another day of livin'.
I just want to celebrate another day of life.

Queensrÿche.
Best I Can.
1990.

Showed me that my will survived.
The tragedy that came into my life.
Giving me hope and the new start that I have.

Fireflight.
Unbreakable.
2008.

This time I'm not scared.
Now I am unbreakable, it's unmistakable.
No one can touch me.
Nothing can stop me.

Janis Ian is one who's overcome more challenges than anyone should have to. I have loved her since I was a teenager and listened to a couple of her albums while making supper.

This song is her take on what stars -- mostly movie stars -- have to deal with as a result of their success.
