What are some good graduation songs that are sure to make the graduates cry, but not totally sob or anything like that.... You know, just to add a lil' bit of drama at graduation day....
Thanks in advance!

The End-The Doors
We're not Gonna Take it Anymore-Twisted Sister
What I've Done-Linkin Park
The Likes of You Again-Flogging Molly-(provided you can remove the intro)
I'm Free-Rolling Stones
Bro Hymn-Pennywise
Another Brick in the Wall-Pink Floyd
Don't Stop Believin'-Journey(if you want to be unoriginal)
Soul to Squeeze-Red Hot Chili Peppers
Fuck Authority-Pennywise (You better have either a VERY lenient principal or a VERY good lawyer to protect 1st ammendmant rights for both the song's message and your choice to play it)
Can't Repeat-The Offspring
You're Gonna Go Far Kid-The Offspring (Worked for Van Wilder)
These are not necessarily in order. I just thought of the songs as I was making this, hoping that some brainstorming would help me find a good 2011 grad song. [ shoone's advice column | Ask shoone A Question ]

Time, where did you go?
Why did you leave me here alone?
Wait, don't go so fast
I'm missing the moments as they pass
Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
So wait for me this time
I'm down,
I'm down on my knees
I'm begging for all your sympathy
But you, (I'm just an illusion) you don't seem to care (I wish that I could)
You humble people everywhere (I don't mean to hurt you)
Now I've looked in the mirror and the world's getting clearer
I'll take what you give me
Please know that I'm learning
So wait for me this time
I should've know better
And I shouldn't have wasted those days
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away
Now
This is my time
And I'm going to make this moment mine
(I shouldn't have wasted those days)
I'll take what you give me
Please know that I'm learning
I've looked in the mirror
My world's getting clearer
So wait for me this time
