1. Don’t Stop Believin’ - Journey

Dirilis pertama kali pada 1981, lagu milik band rock Journey ini kembali populer usai dibawakan dalam serial Glee. “Don’t Stop Believin’” bercerita tentang jiwa muda yang mencari kebebasan untuk terus percaya pada mimpinya. Berikut lirik selengkapnya:

Just a small town girl

Livin' in a lonely world

She took the midnight train going anywhere

Just a city boy

Born and raised in South Detroit

He took the midnight train going anywhere

A singer in a smokey room

A smell of wine and cheap perfume

For a smile they can share the night

It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waitin'

Up and down the boulevard

Their shadows searchin' in the night

Streetlights, people

Livin' just to find emotion

Hidin', somewhere in the night

Workin' hard to get my fill

Everybody wants a thrill

Payin' anything to roll the dice

Just one more time

Some'll win, some will lose

Some are born to sing the blues

Whoa, the movie never ends

It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waitin'

Up and down the boulevard

Their shadows searchin' in the night

Streetlights, people

Livin' just to find emotion

Hidin', somewhere in the night

Don't stop believin'

Hold on to that feelin'

Streetlights, people

Don't stop believin'

Hold on

Streetlights, people

Don't stop believin'

Hold on to that feelin'

Streetlights, people

Never say never

Yeah, yeah, never ever

Never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

See I never thought that I

Could walk through fire

I never thought that I

Could take the burn

I never had the strength

To take it higher

Until I reached the point

Of no return

And there's just no turning back

When your heart's under attack

Gonna give everything I have

It's my destiny

I will never say never

I will fight

I will fight 'til forever

To make it right

Whenever you knock me down

I will not stay on the ground

Pick it up, pick it up

Pick it up, pick it up, up, up

And never say never

Ne-never say never

Ne-never say never

Ne-never say never

Never say it

Never, Never say it

I never thought I

Could feel this power

I never thought that I

Could feel this free

I'm strong enough to climb

The highest tower

And I'm fast enough to run

Across the sea

And there's just no turning back

When your heart's under attack

Gonna give everything I have

'Cause this is my destiny

I will never say never

I will fight

I will fight 'til forever

To make it right

Whenever you knock me down

I will not stay on the ground

Pick it up, pick it up

Pick it up, pick it up, up, up

And never say never

Here we go

Guess who

J Smith and JB

I gotcha lil' bro

I can handle him

Hold up, I

I can handle him

Now he's bigger than me

Taller than me

And he's older than me

And stronger than me

And his arm's a little bit longer than me

But he ain't on a JB song with me

I be tryna chill

They be trying to side with the thrill

No pun intended

Was raised by the power of Will

Like Luke with the Force

If push comes to shove

Like Kobe in the fourth

Ice water in blood (let's go)

I gotta be the best

And yes we're the fliest

Like David and Goliath

I conquered the giant

So now I got the world in my hand

I was born from two stars

So the moon's where I land (I'm gone)

I will never say never

I will fight

I will fight 'til forever

To make it right

Whenever you knock me down

I will not stay on the ground

Pick it up, pick it up

Pick it up, pick it up, up, up

And never say never

I will never say never

I will fight 'til forever

To make it right

Whenever you knock me down

I will not stay on the ground

Pick it up, pick it up

Pick it up, Pick it up, up, up

And never say never

Ne-never say never

Never say it

Ne-never say never

Never say it

Ne-never say never

Never say it

And never say never

Ne-never say never

Never say it

Ne-never say never

Never say it

Ne-never say never

And never say never

But I, I gotta keep trying

Gotta keep my head held high

Ain't about how fast I get there

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be an uphill battle

Sometimes you're gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb

Yeah, yeah

Keep on moving, keep climbing

Keep the faith, baby

It's all about, it's all about the climb

Keep your faith, keep your faith

4. Now or Never - Kendrick Lamar

“Now or Never” menggambarkan perasaan Kendrick Lamar ketika dia berhasil meraih mimpinya menjadi seorang bintang. Berikut lirik lagu selengkapnya:

We on?

Aight

One, two, three, go!

Waking up in a dream

Sleepwalking on another big stage

You never heard peace 'til you hear people scream

Your name in unison, I'm so far away

From the place I used to be, struggling usually

Look at the newer me, fate pursuing me

I can feel the energy in the air

It feel like I'm supposed to here

Everywhere I go I'm getting so much love

Fans, the stars, everyone

Sayin' how they can't wait for the LP

And I'm gonna blow, they believe in me

Feel so good in what you do

Helps somebody else get through

That's why I do the best I can

Because I know how blessed I am

I'm so high I can touch the sky

I know it's my time

And it's now or never

I shine so bright I light the night

And it feels so right, ain't nothing better

A fool if I take it all for granted

A smart man if I keep my feet planted

To the earth 'cause the people that hurt can understand it

You speakin' outlandish

I'ma show you how to make it all work

Another plan, it a short term goal for me

A record sold for me

It's just more of and me in your ear

For you to hear Kendrick persevere

Defenses I feel relentless

Ambition with a clear vision

Takin' off I ain't takin off these Pistons

I'm takin' off on the inner me, you're distance

Came across me, how much it'a cost me

To get you out my business

I set a plan, it's a short term goal, no sky is the limit

I'm past that, now pass that

Award, not one but four

Times two plus yours

I see myself performing there (K.dot)

Sold out shows where the room is packed

Sitting at the Grammy's winning five awards

See myself on big billboards

Traveling around the world with endorsement deals

Can't imagine how it feels

That's why I'm smiling everyday

Because my dream ain't far away

I'm so high I can touch the sky

I know it's my time

And it's now or never

I shine so bright I light the night

And it feels so right, ain't nothing better

You looking at me and you tell me I'm blessed

Calculated my steps, my heart, my breath

Breathe in lungs of a victory and vividly

You see me when at my best, my worst

This verse dedicated to the days that I slept

With a curse research my paid dues I'm reimbursed

I burst in the crowd with a voice and crown

I'm a King on the prowl and I see mama smile

And I vow on the tape that I'll never break

You can break bread with me now

We can all take a bow on the edge of the pedestal

Then scream out loud that we made it off the avenue

And walked that mile

In the darkness I often sit back

And get lost in the rap that I wrote

When you told me that it spoke to your soul

I was talking to you

I was walking it through every ghetto

Tell success hello

We here

And I'm so happy I cry

'Cause I can't believe

All the things I ever wanted

Are finally happening for me

And it's so surreal

That I almost feel

That any minute I can wake up

From this fantasy

When you pray so hard

And you've come so far

And you know that it's the time for you lift your bar

And I'm gonna do it

Watch me

I'm so high I can touch the sky

I know it's my time

And it's now or never

I shine so bright I light the night

And it feels so right, ain't nothing better

I'm so high I can touch the sky

I know it's my time

And it's now or never

I shine so bright I light the night

And it feels so right, ain't nothing better

5. Fight Song - Rachel Platten

Sesuai judulnya, “Fight Song” menceritakan tentang seseorang yang berusaha menumbuhkan semangat di dalam dirinya untuk meraih impiannya selama ini. Berikut lirik lagu “Fight Song” dari Rachel Platten:

Like a small boat

On the ocean

Sending big waves

Into motion

Like how a single word

Can make a heart open

I might only have one match

But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn't say

Wrecking balls inside my brain

I will scream them loud tonight

Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong

I'll play my fight song

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep

Everybody's worried about me

In too deep

Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)

And it's been two years I miss my home

But there's a fire burning in my bones

Still believe

Yeah, I still believe

And all those things I didn't say

Wrecking balls inside my brain

I will scream them loud tonight

Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong

I'll play my fight song

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

A lot of fight left in me

Like a small boat

On the ocean

Sending big waves

Into motion

Like how a single word

Can make a heart open

I might only have one match

But I can make an explosion

This is my fight song

Take back my life song

Prove I'm alright song

My power's turned on

Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)

I'll play my fight song

And I don't really care if nobody else believes

'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Know I've still got a lot of fight left in me

6. A Million Dreams - Hugh Jackman, Ziv Zaifman, Michelle Williams

Lagu ini dirilis pada 2017 sebagai original soundtrack film The Greatest Showman. Dinyanyikan oleh Hugh Jackman, Ziv Zaifman, dan Michelle Williams, lagu ini mengisahkan seseorang yang punya impian dan mencoba untuk tidak menghiraukan pendapat orang lain. Berikut lirik lagunya:

I close my eyes and I can see

The world that's waiting up for me

That I call my own

Through the dark, through the door

Through where no one's been before

But it feels like home

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say I've lost my mind

I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy

We can live in a world that we design

'Cause every night I lie in bed

The brightest colours fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it's gonna take

Oh a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

There's a house we can build

Every room inside is filled

With things from far away

The special things I compile

Each one there to make you smile

On a rainy day

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say we've lost our minds

I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy

Runaway to a world that we design

Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colours fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it's gonna take

Oh a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

However big, however small

Let me be part of it all

Share your dreams with me

You may be right, you may be wrong

But say that you'll bring me along

To the world you see

To the world I close my eyes to see

I close my eyes to see

Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colours fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

A million dreams, a million dreams

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it's gonna take

A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

For the world we're gonna make
