Help me think of a song

[nile455]

Please.

I'm involved with the planning of a special event, and I need to find some uplifting songs that have a theme related to one of these: Unity, Community, Love (non-romantic), Teamwork, Perseverance, anything related to one of those.

The genre could be anything- Pop, country, classical, or even something from a movie or a Broadway show, but they should be beautiful, uplifting songs. I appreciate any suggestions!
