Grammar:

• Where there's a will, there's a way, kind of beautiful

  ➔ Conditional sentence (Zero Conditional variation)

  ➔ This is a general truth. The structure "Where there's X, there's Y" expresses a direct consequence. "Where" functions similarly to "If".

• Every night has its day, so magical

  ➔ Possessive pronoun "its"

  ➔ "Its" refers to the possessive form of "every night". It shows that the "day" belongs to the "night".

• And if there's love in this life, there's no obstacle

  ➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 1 or Type 0, depending on interpretation)

  ➔ This sentence expresses a likely outcome if love exists. The "if" clause states the condition, and the main clause states the result. It could be interpreted as Type 0 if understood as a general truth.

• That can't be defeated

  ➔ Passive voice with modal verb

  ➔ "Can't be defeated" uses the passive voice to show that the "obstacle" is the receiver of the action, and the modal verb "can't" indicates possibility/ability in the negative.

• Tuesday, I was through with hoping

  ➔ Phrasal verb "be through with"

  ➔ "Be through with" means to have finished with something, or to have ended a relationship or activity. Here, it means the speaker has given up on hoping.

• Guess I won't be coming to church on Sunday

  ➔ Future continuous (expressing a planned future action that will not happen)

  ➔ The future continuous, "won't be coming", is used to express a planned activity in the future that the speaker now doesn't intend to do. The context implies they will be occupied with 'waiting for love'.

• We are one of a kind, irreplaceable

  ➔ Adjective Phrase, "one of a kind"

  ➔ "One of a kind" is an idiomatic adjective phrase meaning unique, special, and like no other.

• How did I get so blind and so cynical?

  ➔ Past Simple tense in an interrogative sentence; Intensifier "so"

  ➔ The question uses past simple ("did I get") to inquire about a past state. The intensifier "so" emphasizes the degree of being blind and cynical.
