    I think I found you a winner. This is a great song for anyone facing a big challenge in their life, needing to gather the strength to weather the storm ahead. The melody is quite beautiful, mid-tempo, and uplifting. The song is:

    "You Gotta Be" -- by Des'ree

    Listen as your day unfolds

    Challenge what the future holds

    Try and keep your head up to the sky

    Lovers, they may cause you tears

    Go ahead release your fears

    Stand up and be counted

    Don't be ashamed to cry

    You gotta be

    You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold

    You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard

    You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

    You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm

    You gotta stay together

    All I know, all I know, love will save the day

    Herald what your mother said

    Readin' the books your father read

    Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time

    Some may have more cash than you

    Others take a different view

    My oh my heh, hey

    You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold

    You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard

    You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

    You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm

    You gotta stay together

    All I know, all I know, love will save the day

    Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you

    Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace

    The world keeps on spinning

    You can't stop it, if you try to

    This time it's danger staring you in the face

    Oh oh oh Remember

    Listen as your day unfolds

    Challenge what the future holds

    Try and keep your head up to the sky

    Lovers, they may cause you tears

    Go ahead release your fears

    My oh my heh, hey, hey

    You gotta be

    You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold

    You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard

    You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

    You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm

    You gotta stay together

    All I know, all I know, love will save the day

    You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold

    You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard

    You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

    You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm

    You gotta stay together

    All I know, all I know, love will save the day

    And here is the video of Des'ree performing her hit song, archived on YouTube:

    You are in luck here because if you are looking for ideas on how to sing the song and what to do with your hand gestures, Des'ree lays it all out for you in this video.

    It's in the can!

    I love this song because it helped me through one of the toughest times of my life and became my theme song in my heart and my head as the world around me was crashing down. It brings tears to my eyes hearing it now again after a few years, so be confident that this is a very powerful and memorable song and one which your friend may appreciate as the best she hears on her special day of musical tributes.

    Good luck!

    SAD or ROCK? Okay.. I'm no longer definite on that. If by means of unhappy you imply.... sluggish and style of emo... Evanescence has tons of those, as good as rock, similar to: Hello Like You My Immortal Your Star Missing All That I'm Living For Sweet Sacrifice Weight of the World Going Under The Veronicas: All I Have Heavily Broken In Another Life Someone Wake Me Up My Chemical Romance has tons of well rock songs, and so does Switchfoot.

    "Walk On the Ocean" by Toad the Wet Sprocket is warm, fulfilling, and uplifting.

    "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter is catchy, intellectual, emotional, and rapidly becoming a classic.

    Finally, "Dance" by Leanne Womack encourages listeners to live life to its richest.

    Have a wonderful time!

    well, i really like akon's new CD (it's called freedom) and it's his first cd that doesn't have the parental advisory sticker on it, so his song's are pretty clean.
