What should I sing for graduation?

Question

I've considered "Tapestry" by Carol King, "Circle" by Harry Chapin, "Time of Your Life" by Green Day, and "The Show Must Go On" by Queen (a bit dramatic, I think)... Any ideas?

Answer 1

Mark Harris has a song called Find Your Wings, and it's a good graduation song! =)
Time of Your Life is also a good one!
i will remember you- Sarah McLaughlin
The Last Song- All American Rejects
I hope you dance- Leanne Womack
When I Fall- Josh Groban

I guess it depends on how many moms you want to make cry, I'd sing one that doesn't make you get all choked up, and works with your voice and range.

Anyway, have fun!

God Bless!!

Graduation (Friends Forever) - Vitamin C

Lyrics:

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of the night in June
I Didn't know much of love, but it came too soon
And There was me and you, and then it got real blue
Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and
We would get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

Chorus:
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

Repeat chorus

La, la, la, la; yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

Repeat chorus 3x

Answer 5

Circle of Life - Elton John
(a wierd but check out the lyrics, quite good)

Heaven - I think the original is by Bryan Adams
(but get the Candlelight Version by DJ Sammy)

For your babies - Simply Red

Really depends on what your 'sound' is..

I sang the song "Reach" by Gloria Estefan at my high school graduation.

Another good one is "Forever Young" by Rod Stewart.

Those are just a couple I can think of right off the bat... good luck.

Well, there always the classic choices, "The Graduation Song" by Vitamin C, or "Lean On Me" which there are many different versions of.

Personally, I enjoy "The Scientist" by Coldplay and "Wonderwall" by Oasis.

Answer 10

How about "I Hope You Dance"
by Lee Ann Womack

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..

Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone
