The lyrics of the song “Hall of Fame” (by Script Ft. Will.i.Am) have an overall message to never give up and to fulfill your goals. The song is very motivational to the listener and lets you know that you can achieve anything if you put the effort to try. This song creates feeling of strength, confidence and will-power. It gives me the desire to stand up and aim for the impossible. It encourages me to make my dreams into reality because one day I will be acknowledged for all the hard work.

You can’t actually move a mountain but it’s an example showing that if you stay focused, you can accomplish the task!
