Songs about tomorrow being better

Trying to create a playlist with songs about how things change and the bad times don't last etc.

So far I have thought of the following:
The Secret Sisters - tomorrow will be kind
Darius Rucker - it won't be like this for long
Wilson Philips - hold on
Ronan Keating - life is a rollercoaster
D:Ream - things can only get better
And of course Tomorrow from Annie

Any others? They don't have to be upbeat, or well known. Just something about that good old MN mantra 'this too shall pass'

Ooh some fab, and rather obvious suggestions that I didn't think of. Thank you.
