ITW has been mentioned...but not my favorite line from it - "Best to take the moment present as a present for the moment."

And this one, which I have taped to my mirror right now-"Although how can you know who you are til you know what you want, which you don't? So then which do you pick: when you're safe out of sight, and yourself, but where everything's wrong? Or where everything's right and you know that you'll never belong?"

From Mamma Mia: And I often wonder
How did it all start?
Who found out that nothing
Can capture the heart
Like a melody can
Well, whoever it was
I'm a fan.

And From Bounce (probably too long, but maybe you can just use one stanza or something)
You hit a few bumps,
You make a few gaffes,
You learn how to bounce.

You take a few lumps,
You have a few laughs,
And all the while you bounce.

Don't dwell on the times
That you fail,
Remember the times
When you sail,

Find a new road-
Forge a new trail-
Bounce.
