INTRODUCTION
Hope is what one craves, an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one's life. As (Strickland 2015:9) stated Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best or the act of looking forward to something with desire and reasonable confidence or feeling that something desired may happen. It reflects what one finds in a literary work including a song. Song is a part of literary work. Literature is a kind of essay based on experience or imagination. Maru (2014:4) argues that a literary text is fiction, it provides real world experiences, whereas it reveals the connection that happened in society where the target language is spoken.
In this research. song will be used, it a song with wide appeal, that is typically distributed to large audiences through the music industry. Popular song is a kind of music that is currently favored by ordinary people. It is a kind of music that most people loved.
In relation to literature, song, song's lyric, and poetry are also related as a part of literature, because poetry can be translated into musical lyrics as a song.
A meaning may be found in symbols that related with imagery figurative language. Anything that signifies something else at the range of reference beyond itself is known as symbols (Abrams:1971). In other side, Groys Kerraft,said that figurative language or style is a way of showing mind through a special language that shows the soul and the characteristic of the writer (language user). Figurative language that commonly used is personification, metaphor and simile (2009:113).The symbols that have a message is a strong foundation to reveal the presentation of hope that being conveyed in imagery figurative language in the song lyrics. Symbols and images are figures of speech that enhance a work of art even though in an indirect manner. The use of imagery and symbolism enriches the subject matter of art by translating meaning through associations and by establishing contrast and comparisons through what Caroline Spurgeon terms, "likeness between dissimilar things. In other hand, the necessity of authentic media to enhance student's vocabulary mastery, song recently has widely used as tool of achieving some purposive vocabularies in material that contains authentic language, which is easily obtain, provide vocabulary, grammar and cultural aspects and are fun for the students.
In this research, the writer is interested in investigating the symbols in lyrics of Celine Dion's songs because songs are the daily need for many people in modern life and can attract people to learn English. In this research there are two songs of greatest hits of Celine Dion that will be taken namely A New Day Has Come and I'm Alive.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Song as part of literature has been broaden the insights in Literature, since it is obtainable, enjoyable, fun and is inevitable in human life, especially as students, it could be viewed as means of delivering and describing life situation even to reduce stress, show feeling and etc. Apart from it, English as a foreign language that taught in school lately uses song in the material which integrated with curriculum 2013. It proves that the existence of song as the means of teaching and improving ESL student's language mastery has broadly admitted by institution of education for some reasons and purposes eventually. One of the most obtainable in learning English through song is vocabulary.

It proves that the existence of song as the means of teaching and improving ESL student's language mastery has broadly admitted by institution of education for some reasons and purposes eventually. One of the most obtainable in learning English through song is vocabulary. Maru (2009:1) stated "Having an active EFL (English as a Foreign Language) class has been a dream for almost all of teachers". Therefore, song can hold a big role in improving, enriching student's vocabulary and sharpening student's sensitivity of language use because it can stimulate students to learn actively without feeling under pressure. It has been known broadly that vocabulary is fundamental to foreign language teaching because without vocabulary enough, students cannot not only express their own ideas but also comprehend others. This is how Wilkins (1972: 111-112) summed up the importance of vocabulary learning : "without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed." Song has lyrics that own a lot of vocabulary about noun, verb and etc. Surely, we may broaden students' insights in literature and also to enhance student's English vocabulary. Symbolism Symbolism is a system of symbols or representations. It is the art or practice of using symbols especially by investing things with a symbolic meaning or by expressing the invisible or sensuous representations.
An example of a symbol in poetry occurs in the King James translation of Psalm 23, quoted on page 160. The poem begins with a metaphor: God is like a shepherd and I (the speaker) am like one of his sheep; just as a shepherd takes care of his sheep, so will God take care of me. (Griffith 2011) According to M H. Abrams (1971): Anything which signifies something else; in this sense all words is symbols As commonly used in discussing literature, however, symbol is applied only To a word or set of words that signifies an object or event which itself Signifies something else; that is the words refer to something which suggests A range of reference beyond itself. (168) Further, according to Kennedy, symbol is a thing in literary work which have more than literal meaning, he pointed thing does not provide one meaning only (Kennedy 206). Tyson also states that, sometimes symbols has private meaning and only the author of it knows its meaning, and our analysis about symbol within the text can be different from the aouthor's intention, but it does not matter as long our analysis about symbol supports in finding the theme of literary work of our study (Tyson 142).

Figurative Language
Figurative language is the conscious departure from normal or conventional ways of saying things. This could mean merely a rearrangement of the normal word order of a sentence, such as "Sir Gawain the dragon slew" or "With this ring I thee wed." Such unusual re-arrangements are called "rhetorical" figures of speech''. (Griffith 2011:132) Simile is a second category of figurative language: tropes. Tropes (literally, "turns") extend the meaning of words beyond their literal meaning. A simile uses like or as to mark similarities; for example, "Her tears were like falling rain." The following stanza from Shakespeare's "Fair Is My Love" contains several similes (indicated by the underlinings) : A metaphor also claims similarities between things that are essentially unlike, but it eliminates the comparative words (such as like) and thus equates the compared items. For example, "My heart was a tornado of passion" (not "My heart was like a tornado of passion"). The poem "Love Is a Sickness" by Samuel Daniel contains three metaphors-love is a sickness, love is a plant, love is a tempest-indicated here by the underlinings : Personification analogies can be directly stated or implied. The similes and metaphors in the poems by Shakespeare and Daniel are directly stated analogies; but when Daniel in the last lines of each stanza says that love "sighs," he implies a kind of analogy, personifi -cation; he pretends that love has the attributes of a person.Personification means using comparative similes and metaphors to give living qualities to non-living objects or ideas. It is a part of figurative language. In his Dictionary ofLiterary Terms and Literary Theory, Cuddon states that this figure is "inherent in many languages through the use of gender" (661). A writer can either say something literally, orfiguratively.

Research Design
Based on this research focus is to analyze the themes in Celine Dion's selected songs, and the qualitative research was used. Bogdan and Biklen (1992:30) "Qualitative research is descriptive. The data collected are in the form of words or pictures rather than numbers. The written result of the research contains quotation from data to illustrate and substantiate the presentation." The data will be collected by the form of words, sentences, and video.
In analyzing the data in this research, the writer used objective approach. According to M. H. Abrams objective approach is : "The objective orientation which on the principle regards the works of art in isolation from all the external part of references, analyze it as a self sufficient entity constituted by its part in their external relation, and sets out to judge its sorely by criteria intrinsic to its mode of being. (1979:26) RESULTS

Claiming the similarities between things that are essentially unlike, but eliminates the comparative words (such as like) and thus equates the compared items recognized as metaphor.
Hope can appear in so many occasion, depends on what or who that made someone get the strength and joy which encouragehis/herwanted to live and believe in positivity of life. The following quotes reflected the hope that caused by the loved ones can change the whole life of someone that also change their positively opinion.
Religious signs were clearly used in this song. A light for example, it is metaphoric expression that representing one of God's character as the saviour that bring out hope. In Hinduism, the scripture symbolized light as inner awakening of hope. Meanwhile, angel viewed as messanger of hope from God and new sun is hope of something new has born.
"Hush now I see a light in the sky Oh it's almost blinding me I can't believe I've been touch by an angel with love" (Stanza 4) Symbol of hope that presenting by word "light" apparently originated from religious sign. As in Christian believer commonly used the word light to describe God as the saviour that bring out hope. In Hinduism, the scripture symbolized light as Usha, who is the sister of sun that brings hope. Spritually she symbolizes the inner awakening. In the song, the writer would like to tell that Celine has found a new hope that just awakened inside her soul. Therefore, it is concluded that the word "light" clearly explains that a hope of something that had been waiting for so long and something good has come.
Meanwhile the word "angel" describes the one who brings a warm love and caring at that time. It was actually refers to the baby in the womb that brings joy and happiness. As a Christian believer, Angel was viewed as a sign of "good news"or "helper". Here, the "angel" described as a baby that carrying a good news and helped the family to get lifeagain after the despair of waiting for so long in the middle of impossibility of having a baby after the marriage. The "angel" who is the baby then comes as family's first biggest hope that they have been waiting for.
Those symbols revealed the hope presented as an optimistic feeling and positive energy that encouraged human to act positively and optimistically in facing life trials especially when human have wishes that they want in life.
The symbols of hope in this song also have messages that tell about the determination of the struggle of life of Celine Dion. The hardship she endured she wanted to have a baby desperately, and the great joy she experienced with the birth of her son. Therefore Celine Dion revealed that this song represents the birth of her child. This song can be used for everyone out there, and the reason to started a new life. This song proves that there will be nothing we will get without effort and hard work, during the marriage life of Celine, she has never had a child, but she has a conviction in her heart, and she declared it through effort, never giving up on the situation, the struggles are too much to keep survive against life. After all,in the end God gave a miracle to Celine, her effort and prayer were answered by the presence of a baby boy.
"Hush now I see a light in the sky Oh it's almost blinding me I can't believe I've been touch by an angel with love" (Stanza 4) In stanza 4 line 3, the bold expression is a metaphoric expression that representing the feeling of joy right after being touched by the loved one that claim to have the form of an angel which obviously representing a little baby that has been waiting for and brought happiness. As the metaphor tries to compare the attribute of one thing and something else, the author here clearly maintain to express her imagination of the birth of baby that was like the presence of an angel which is marvelous and wonderful, since it was seemed too impossible to happen (in this case to have a baby) of course it was such an unbelievable moments that been waiting for long to happen somehow expecting for the presence of an angel. There by, the presence of the baby viewed as the presence of an angel that desperately desired by the author, so that she felt extremely happy when she finally have a baby then she pictured the baby as an angel. Another metaphorical expression that also shows the presence of a baby were presented in the following lines : "Let the rain come down and wash away my tears Let it fill my soul and drown my fears

Let it shatter the walls for a new sun
A new day has come" (Stanza 5) The bold expression above that uses "walls" describing the gloomy past and doubt of having a new born baby that represented as "new sun".The word "new sun" is a symbolic description of a new hope. The quotes "Let it shatter the walls for a new sun"have a strong message of hope that the author would like to express. It implies the positive energy of the sun that brings warm and peace would be able to shatter or to throw away the feeling of sadness that the author suffering from. That was obviously the author's hope that the good news that is the baby would be the one that save them from the despair and to gain hope once again. It carries strong message of hope and courage to face the new challenge that she has been waiting for the rest of her life. It was clearly presented the presence of a baby that just broke all her frustration that feeling and doubt in the past. Therefore, it is expressing the freedom from sadness and beginning of the new hope.

Symbols in the Form of Personification
The symbols of hope is clearly conveyed in this song by using personification figurative language. The hope in the fifth stanza is how big our problem is, meet and live it, and let it flow like water, as the poet wants to convey Celine's feeling through her problem.

This is conveyed by using personification whereas the author pretends that "the rain" has the attributes of a person that causing a problem to appear. He continues by saying "Let it fill my soul and drown my fears" which implies that the author viewed "the rain" that switched by "it" in the second array as a personthat may destroy the happiness, however the author implied that the life shall be stronger and fearless when the problem comes.
The following quotes is also clearly implied a hope in facing life trials. The author once again uses personification in the third array "Let it shatter the walls for a new sun". He pretends that "the rain" have the attributes of a person that he letto cause a problem but in end he believes that there would be another good thing forward after the trialsthat means the author just going to flow like a river that's why he continues by saying "Shatter the wall for a new sun"whereas the new sun symbolizes as a new hope that been waiting for so long.
Through this song, people can see and feel the struggles of one of the big star in the world through her song "A New Day Has Come" that tells to us that life still must we live no matter how bad things are, we must meet and face it.

Message of hope in the fourth stanza is we never know when we will have a complete or a perfect life, or when God will give us a miracle or everything we want whatever it is. But if we are waiting patiently and always have a hope in God, and effort, it's definitely we will get everything that we want and we need. Because the happiness of life that we will get, it will be comparable with our tears, as the light will blind us as the lyrics of the song.
