Songs To Inspire Graduates
By Catherine PulsiferOur friend, Kelly, is graduating next month. She was helping the committee pick out the songs that were to be played at the graduation ceremony. During the commencement exercises, they are going to play 3 songs. She had a list of songs with the lyrics that she was trying to choose from. She was looking for a song that symbolized the finishing of a chapter in their lives, but also lyrics that reflected a new beginning.
As I read the lyrics of each song, the wisdom of their words jumped out at me. The words in these songs are ones that not only are good graduation songs, but their words can apply to us all in our journey of life. So, whether you are looking for songs to play at a graduation or if you just want some inspiration, read some of the lyrics from these songs to provide a positive thought to your day. If you find a song that intrigues you, you can find the complete lyrics by doing a search using the song title.
When I'm Strong
by David and Jenny Heitler-Klevans
I feel good - when I'm strong
I don't have to follow, or just go along.
I feel good - when I'm strong
When I decide for myself, what's right and what's wrong.We Can Move the World
by Joe Crone
We can move the world, we can touch the sky
We can climb the highest mountains, spread our wings and fly
We can learn to be what it is we're meant to be
We can learn to grab our dreams and look for all possibilities
We can move the worldTime of Your Life
by Green Day
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in timeI Believe I Can Fly
by R. Kelly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
you were born to
do great things!"
