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.

I killed the boss, you don't think they're gonna fire me over a thing like that!!!!

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

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.

"Madam Rose...and her daughter...Gypsy!"

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.
