What does that song mean?

Songs about Overcoming

One of the defining traits of humans is that we solve problems. At least, we solve all those direct problems, notwithstanding the less immediate ones. We can't balance a budget and get it shipped through congress, but at least we can get in out of the rain when we have to. And when we marshal our skills to bigger quests in life, we can become heroes to at least ourselves if to none other.

These are inspirational and uplifting songs, for the most part. They're there to remind you of the strength you have, the hidden reserves of steel you don't know you possess. We spend so much time worrying about what's going to happen and yet when something actually happens, we go right to work and it isn't nearly as bad as we'd feared. How do we do that? We overcome our problems.
