Songs for Commencement??

Published

Specializes in Cardio-Thoracic Surgery.

Hi everyone,

I am scheduled to graduate in April and we are currently voting to see what song will be played at our commencement as we enter the building.

I was curious what other schools have played at their graduation? Or perhaps someone can recommend a good graduation song?

Thanks!

"Do You Know (Where You're Going To?)", The Theme From "Mahogany", was played and sung during our graduation by members of the Junior Class.

A really beautiful and poignant song. I still get chills, whenever I hear it.

(M. Masser and G. Goffin)

Do you know where you're going to

Do you like the things that life is showing you

Where are you going to

Do you know

Do you get

What you're hoping for

When you look behind you

There's no open doors

What are you hoping for

Do you know

Once we were standing still in time

Chasing the fantasies

That filled our minds

You knew how I loved you

But my spirit was free

Laughin' at the questions

That you once asked of me

Do you know where you're going to

Do you like the things that life is showing you

Where are you going to

Do you know

Now looking back at all we've planned

We let so many dreams

Just slip through our hands

Why must we wait so long

Before we'll see

How sad the answers

To those questions can be

Do you know where you're going to

Do you like the things that life is showing you

Where are you going to

Do you know

Do you get

What you're hoping for

When you look behind you

There's no open doors

What are you hoping for

Do you know

There's quite a few I've been collecting both from this site and doing "graduation song" searches on the web:

"Unwritten" - NATASHA BEDINGFIELD

“In my Life” – The Beatles

“The Prayer” – Andrea Bocelli w/Cleline Dion

“I Will Remember You” – Sarah McLaughlin

"Place in This World" - Michael W. Smith

But this one is my FAVORITE....the lyrics are beautiful, the music is perfect for walking in, and who can't love Carrie Underwood's voice?

Whenever You Remember - Carrie Underwood

When you look back on times we had

I hope you smile

And know that through the good and through the bad

I was on your side when nobody could hold us down

We claimed the brightest star

And we, we came so far

And no they won't forget

Whenever you remember times gone by

Remember how we held our heads so high

When all this world was there for us

And we believe that we could touch the sky

Whenever you remember, I'll be there

Remember how we reached that dream together

Whenever you remember

When you think back on all we've done

I hope you're proud

When you look back and see how far we've come

It was our time to shine

And nobody could hold us down

They thought they'd see us fall

But we, we stood so tall

And no we won't forget

Whenever you remember times gone by

Remember how we held our heads so high

When all this world was there for us

And we believe that we could touch the sky

Whenever you remember, I'll be there

Remember how we reached that dream together

Whenever you remember

We claimed the brightest star

And we, we came so far

And know that we showed them all

And no they won't forget

Whenever you remember times gone by

Remember how we held our heads so high

When all this world was there for us

And we believed that we could touch the sky

Whenever you remember, I'll be there

Remember how we reached that dream together

Whenever you remember

Whenever you remember

Ooohh, whenever you remember...

I'm hoping I can sell my class on that one!! Last year (and possibly the year before) they used "A Moment Like This" from Kelly Clarkson. Not bad either....

Enjoy!!! And congrats!!! :balloons:
