* HedwigAndTheAngryInch has "Wig in a Box" where Hedwig looks back on everything that's made her "the woman I've become".

* "Finally," the finale from Theatre/{{Finale}}, is one for the full cast, as they sing about their lives as they [[spoiler:all walk to their deaths]].

* ''Film/{{Hairspray}}'' has the powerful "I Know Where I've Been," which is about the continuing fight against prejudice as much as it is about the progress of the characters and plot.
** Interestingly, another song called "Come So Far (Got So Far to Go)" was written for the 2007 film adaptation. However, unlike "I Know Where I've Been," it lacks the narrative significance typically associated with this trope, as it is played over the credits rather than as part of the film.

* The film ''TheLandBeforeTime'' had the song 'If We Hold On Together' with its line "You've come so far, don't throw it away..."

* ''Film/{{Seussical}}'' either has one such song, or has multiple songs that apply to different characters. "All for You" is one, relating the sheer hell Gertrude has gone through to get to Horton. However, everything mentioned in the song happened off stage.
