I Lived by OneRepublic is featured in Dreams Come True, the thirteenth and final episode of Season Six. It's sung by the Cast of Glee with solos from Artie, Blaine, Kurt, Mercedes, Rachel, Roderick, Sam, and Will.
It's the final number of the series. In Fall 2020, Sue Sylvester, now the Vice President of the United States, comes back to McKinley with Becky Jackson and invites Will, Burt Hummel, Carole Hudson-Hummel, Emma Pillsbury, Principal Figgins, Sheldon Beiste, and Terri Del Monico, who later joins hesitantly, to a rededication of The Auditorium for Finn, renaming it as "Finn Hudson Auditorium". Then, Sue introduces the New Directions and sits in the front row with Becky, as the curtain opens and shows Tina, Artie, Sam, and Quinn on the stage as Will joins in. Later, Rachel, Mercedes, Kurt, and Blaine walk in to the stage and sings in. Roderick, Mason, Madison, Jane, Alistair, Spencer and Sugar join at the chorus along with Mike and Matt Rutherford who both reunited for the first time since Season One, sharing a dance routine. At the song bridge, Brittany, Santana, Puck, Kitty, Lauren Zizes, Dave Karofsky, and Jake enter the auditorium and sings in. Joe, Ryder, and Unique also show up from the back of the auditorium stage. Jesse is also seen cuddling with Rachel throughout the song. Later, the adults get up to the stage, joining them. Terri is seen hugging Will when Emma notices them in an uncomfortable face. Most of the former main and recurring members of New Directions (excluding Rory Flanagan, Marley Rose and Myron Muskovitz) join to sing and celebrate Glee. The song ends when Becky and Sue get to the stage and join everyone putting their heads down to take their final bow as the lights turn off and the scene cuts to the screen zooming out from the picture of them in the auditorium along with Finn and Lillian's plaques. The sounds of the cast cheering and laughing is heard and with that the screen fades to black, marking the end of Glee.
