Song #lesson: Reality is "the way things are", but things can change. Dream it, imagine it, think it!
What you see is not necessarily what you have to get. 

From the song 'That's The Way It Is' by Celine Dion:

It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you,
Don't surrender 'cause you can win,
...
Don't give up on your faith,
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is.

Song #lesson: The reality may seem bleak, but anything is possible...

You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach,
And you know it might not ever come your way,
Dream it anyway.
