Resolved Question

Can you suggest some songs?

I'm flat broke, so I'm making my mom a mixed CD for Mother's Day. I want it to be filled with inspirational songs. Songs that pick you up when you're down, and remind you to keep fighting when the chips are down. Songs that make you look on the bright side of life. Any suggestions? Thanks! :-)

Lighthouse	Posted Apr 25th, 2009 at 10:20PM "You'll never walk alone"- personally I love Elvis's version but there are others that have sung it. "You raise me up"by Josh Groban- An absolutely beautiful song. "Show me the way"- by Styx In a previous comment someone mentioned making a slideshow.
