I will survive by Gloria Gaynor...a little cheesy, I know, but it's the only one I could come up with at this hour.

REO Speedwagon:
Time for me to fly
Ridin the Storm out.
Bob Seger...Against the Wind
Steve Winwood...Roll with it.
Eminem....Cleaning out my closet
Garth Brooks...the Change, the River
Journey...dont stop believing
Van Halen...Right Now
John Parr...St Elmo's Fire
There are also a lot of Christian songs that talk about keeping the faith in times of trouble.
Arrested Development...Mr Wendell
Lots of rap songs about adversity, not always positive.
Black Crowes...She talks to angels.
Kansas...Carry on Wayward son
U2...still haven't found what I'm looking for
Those are the ones in my collection, I know there are many more.
I'm not familiar with Rent soundtrack much but I think it is probably a very appropriate source. Another musical is Les Miserables...it is about hanging in there during the French revolution.
Check out civil rights and protest music from the black artists as well as the hippies. Stuff like We Shall Overcome, etc.

With all that is going on in Iraq I couldn't think of any more appropriate songs of courage than some about the United States Marines. One: The Ballad of The Green Berets by Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler and another one: Fallen Hero's by Mickey Grasso... Click the links below to hear them.
Lets pray for our hero's and for their safe return...

Courage by Superchic[k]
Artist: Superchick
Song: Courage
Album: Beauty From Pain
i told another lie today
and i got through this day
no one saw through my games
i know the write words to say
like "i don't feel well," "i ate before i came"
then someone tells me how good i look
and for a moment, for a moment i am happy
but when i'm alone, no one hears me cry
i need you to know
i'm not through the night
somedays i'm still fighting to walk towards the light
i need you to know
that we'll be ok
together we can make it through another day
i don't know the first time i felt unbeautiful
the day i chose not to eat
what i do know is how i've changed my life forever
i know i should know better
there are days when i'm ok
and for a moment, for a moment i find hope
but there are days when i'm not ok
and i need your help
so i'm letting go
i need you to know
i'm not through the night
somedays i'm still fighting to walk towards the light
i need you to know
that we'll be ok
together we can make it through another day
you should know you're not on your own
these secrets are walls that keep us alone
i don't know when but i know now
together we'll make it through somehow
(together we'll make it through somehow)
i need you to know
i'm not through the night
somedays i'm still fighting to walk towards the light
i need you to know
that we'll be ok
together we can make it through another day
