Songs about Hope, Faith and Courage

I already shared in my articles that I and others can find power in many things - and one of these things is music and if you like dancing.

No matter who you are / who we are - I guess nobody told anybody that life is easy. 

It finally it should be fun, exciting, and interesting, but lever the less it will have a lot of hard times and most of the times will be challenging. Sadly, or to be honest it is good that life does not come with an instructions’ manual - and I guess none of us has a superpower - which will help us in all the difficult moments. but we should keep hope, faith and courage. Together with faith, hope shows us where we should be and how we can get there. The hope and the wishing something might and would happen - Faith and believing that something will happen - and our courage let it happen.


Check out these songs to get some tunes and lyrics with amazing power of hope and faith. 

Learn how to cultivate hope and faith in our own life.


Bon Jovi - “Keep the Faith”

Accordingly, Bon Jovi's song “Keep the Faith” has this fresh, hopeful energy, along with the lyrics that convey a universal message: keep the faith. I think everyone will find their own personal meaning in those words.

“Faith: you know you’re gonna live thru the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Now you know is not too late
Oh you got to keep the faith.“


John Lennon – “Imagine“

When John Lennon wrote Imagine, he probably didn’t imagine what an impact this song will have. Besides having an important political message, Imagine became a musical symbol of peace and unity. And although John Lennon’s vision of the potential future might be a bit too optimistic, the only way for the world to change is to keep dreaming, hoping, and imagining. It is perhaps one of the most popular songs about hope.

„You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one.“



Norah Jones – “Carry On“

Norah Jones' song has a suitable music video of an older couple stopping their routine to dance in the kitchen. And the song’s lyrics are a sweet reminder of what you need to do sometimes:

“Let’s just forget
Leave it behind
And carry on.“




Tom Petty – “I Won’t Back Down“

“I Won’t Back Down” is one of the classic rock songs about hope that’s easy to listen to. It’s one of Tom Petty’s most personal songs. He wrote it after someone burned his house down, so it’s really a message of strength and hope after a scary moment of his life.

“Well I know what’s right
I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin’ me around
But I’ll stand my ground.“




Peter Gabriel – “Don’t Give Up“

After all, hope is the only thing that can sometimes push us forward, and this beautiful ballad performed by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush portrays that message beautifully. Peter Gabriel was allegedly going through hard times in 1985 so he wrote “Don’t Give Up” as a thank you to his family for being there for him. It’s indeed a memorable, touching song with genuine lyrics.

“Rest your head
You worry too much
It’s going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don’t give up.“






Eric Idle – “Always Look on The Bright Side of Life“


I like to round up this list of songs about hope with this song by Eric Idle. Featured at the end of the movie “Life of Brian”, “Always Look on The Bright Side of Life” sends a clear message of optimism and hope. Because things are sometimes very simple.

“Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best.“
