INDIVIDUALLY. THEN TRY TO GUESS

THE SONG.

You can throw your hands up

You can beat the clock (yeah)

You can move a mountain

You can break rocks

You can be a master

Don't wait for luck

Dedicate yourself and you go n' find yourself

Standing in the hall of fame (yeah)

And the world's gonna know your name

(yeah)

'Cause you burn with the brightest flame

(yeah)

And the world's gonna know your name

(yeah)

THE SCRIPT FET. WILL.I.AM.

This song is about:

* Not giving up on one's goals or

dreams

* Working hard, against odds in

order to get where one wants to

go

* Achieving and finding

greatness in oneself

* Eventually reaching the goal

* Being great in whatever you

decide to do

Something has changed within me

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules

Of someone else's game

Too late for second-guessing

Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts

Close my eyes and leap!

It's time to try

Defying gravity

GLEE

This song is about:

* Believing in oneself

* Being brave enough to make

the best choices in life

* Risking big changes

* Inspiring others to do the

same

* Leaving behind the old/past

for the new/present and future

Do you ever feel already buried deep

six feet under?

Screams but no one seems to hear a

thing

Do you know that there's still a chance

for you

'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it

shine

Just own the night like the 4th of July

KATY PERRY

This song is about:

* Knowing that low times will

end

Skies are crying, I am watchingCatching tear drops in my handsOnly silence as it's endingLike we never had a chanceDo you have to make me feel likeThere's nothing left of me?

[Chorus:]You can take everything I haveYou can break everything I amLike I'm made of glassLike I'm made of paperGo on and try to tear me downI will be rising from the groundLike a skyscraperLike a skyscraper

This song is about:

* Having/finding strength

* Fighting against negativity

* Rising and getting up

against odds, resistance,

personal struggles, etc.

Dark is the nightI can weather the stormNever say dieI've been down this road beforeI'll never quitI'll never lay down, mmSee I promised myself that I'd never let me down

I'll never give upNever give inNever let a ray of

doubt slip inAnd if I fallI'll never failI'll just get up and try again

Never lose hopeNever lose faithThere's much too much at stakeUpon myself I must dependI'm not looking for place or showI'm gonna win

This song is about:

* The importance of not giving

up and rising again even if you

fall

* Self-dependence and self-

reliance

And if you fall, you'll never fail.

Just get up and try again!
