I find "I Know Where I've Been" from Haispray to be fairly inspirational.

"What I Did For Love" is another good one.

Add a little humor to the proceedings with 'For Now' from Avenue Q.

What about "Into the Fire" from The Scarlet Pimpernel for something that's not done very often?

Make Them Hear You from Ragtime. It always gives me the chills! A masterpiece!

They have already been mentioned but I would like to repeat two winners:
"Some People" from GYPSY
"Look to the Rainbow" from FINIAN'S RAINBOW--an absolutely wonderful forgotten gem of a song, with a great melody and superb, uplifting lyrics.

"As We Stumble Along" from Drowsy

Not Broadway, but “You Are Loved” by Josh Groban.
“Children Will Listen” from INTO THE WOODS
“A New World” from SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD
“For Now” from AVENUE Q
“Heart and Music” from A NEW BRAIN
“You’ll Never Walk Alone” from CAROUSEL
“Crazy World” from VICTOR/VICTORIA
“Somewhere” from WEST SIDE STORY

I’m not all that familiar with FAME, but I’m pretty sure there are a couple of songs near the end dealing with this sort of situation that you might look into.
