This is song is so uplifting, it is also inspiring to others. What it means is, that there are no boundaries or limits to what you wnat in life and there is no way anyones gonna stop you from reaching your goals and you potential. Like in the chorus, it says: you make it through the pain, whether the hurricanes, to get to that one thing. That means that one thing is your goal and the pain and hurricanes are your obstacles trying to stop you from getting to reach your goals. Awesome song written for Kris Allen.
