Most colleges and educational institutions carefully choose a good selection of
graduation songs to play during the graduation ceremony.
Graduation day is such a special and emotional day for the individual. It is
a day they will probably remember for the rest of their lives. In years to come
just hearing the graduation songs that were played on their special day will
conjure up all these old feelings and memories in a much more powerful way than
for example a photo can.
The same applies to the music that you choose to play at your graduation party.
You’ll want music that can relate to a variety of feelings:
• There will be a hint of melancholy as the graduate is leaving a massive
chapter of his/her life behind and also saying farewell to so many friends.
It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday by Boyz II Men
would certainly relate to this feeling. Even Here’s to the Night
by Eve 6 will leave many graduates misty-eyed thinking of some memorable moments
with friend.
• There will also be feelings of excitement and hope for the future.
I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly is ideal for promoting that feeling
of pure inspiration for the future.
I have tried to give you as many songs as possible to let you find something that suits your occassion and taste.
Save time with this graduation party CD.
. It has a perfect list of graduation celebration songs on it. See them listed below the image.

Most Popular of All the Graduation Songs
This has to be the Vitamin C Graduation Song. I think it suits an occassion where your emphasis is on saying goodbye.
Some of the opening lyrics are:
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
Click through if you want to get the complete lyrics.
Also sheet music, phone ringtones, watch and listen to the video, reviews and lots more trivia, including about Vitamn C.

A good example of the kindergarten graduation songs is:

You're a very special kid!
Christian Graduation Songs
Christian Graduation songs offer a very uplifting look at life and the journey ahead. Christian graduation songs are vibrant and convey a great message. The graduation songs words can inspire the graduates.
The top christian graduation songs are listed here followed by my own favorite. The first few lines are given to let you decide which of the christian graduation songs would suit your taste:
- Where You Lead Me by MercyMe
What is life?
A thousand roads, a thousand ways
Why am I so afraid to move
I crossed the line
I'm stepping out so come what may
I give it all cause I'm drawn to You
- This Road by Jars Of Clay
All heavy laden acquainted with sorrow
May Christ in our marrow carry us home
From alabaster come blessings of laughter
A fragrance of passion and joy from the truth
- All The Evidence I Need by 4HIM
So I am walking by faith and not by sight
And I am trusting in invisible things
For I have felt in my heart
What I can't see with my eyes
- Measure Of A Man by 4HIM
They can do their best to rate you
And they'll place you on their charts
And then back it up with scientific smarts
But there's more to what your worth
Than what their human eyes can see
- Raging Sea by Michael W. Smith
Sometimes the journey makes you weary
Feels like a long and winding road
Sometimes this life can lose it's meaning
But you might be surprised to find some hope
- The Power Of The Moment by Chris Rice
What am I gonna be when I grow up?
How am I gonna make my mark in history?
And what are they gonna write about me when I’m gone?
These are the questions that shape the way I think about what matters
- Smellin' The Coffee by Chris Rice
My eyes ain’t even open yet
I’m smellin’ coffee, birds are singin’ just outside
Here comes Your mercy streamin’ in with the morning light
My heart is racin’, wakin’ up to You’re smile
- Follow You Dreams By Raze
Follow your dreams and you will see
Anything you want you can achieve
Time to begin, fly like the wind
Breakin down these walls you will be free
- Bring It On By Steven Curtis Chapman
Now, I don’t want to sound like some hero
‘Cause it’s God alone that my hope is in
But I’m not gonna run from the very things
That would drive me closer to Him
So bring it on
- Never give up- Yolanda Adams
Visions that can change the world trapped inside an ordinary girl
She looks just like me too afraid to dream out loud
And though it's simple your idea, it won't make sense to everybody
You need courage now If you're gonna persevere
- Circle of friends- Point of Grace
With joy so deep and love so sweet
Oh we'll celebrate these friends
And a life that never ends
- I Thank You- Rebecca St James
There was a time when I felt
Alone and afraid
But You came close to me
And I'm forever changed
- My friend- Crystal Lewis
thank you
for being my friend
for being the one
on whom i depend
- Lean on me- Kirk Franklin
This is for that little child with no father
For that man that doesn't have a place to stay
For that little boy living with AIDS
Can I tell you a story, tell you a story
You can lean on me
- The Prayer by Andrea Boccelli and Celine Dion
I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
- Find Your Wings by Mark Harris
It's only for a moment you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you
Will all too soon unfold
- Think of Me - Rachel Lampa & Mark Schultz
Packing my bag this morning,
Was the hardest thing to do,
But packing my bag was so easy,
Compared to standing outside your door,
right now to say goodbye to you.
- You Will Never Walk Alone by Point of Grace
Sometimes the Journey's gentle
Sometimes the cold winds blow
But I want you to remember
I want you to know
You will never walk alone
- Every Moment by Joy Williams
We move on with no regrets to our destiny
Held by the hands of the Father
We share His love and He leads us through
My favorite of the christian graduation songs is Start A Fire By Audio Adrenaline. There is a real sense of taking charge of your future which is a great theme for graduation songs:
I think it's a cold, cold world and I think we need to heat it
Light it up like gasoline when a match's thrown down in it
So go ahead and strike a match, a passionate heart is needed
So throw a torch up in the sky, 'cause we need someone to lead it
It only takes a little spark to get a fire goin'
I know the fire's in your heart, so go ahead and show it
[chorus]
Go - light it up - start a fire
Burn - let it burn - even higher
Like a city on a hill, we can light up the horizon
For miles and miles and miles - you can see the smoke is risin'
So go ahead and light the sky like a bonfire in the night
Let the fire keep burnin' hard - it can never be too bright
It only takes a little spark to get a fire goin'
I know the fire is in your heart, so go ahead and show it
Go - light it up - start a fire
Burn - let it burn - even higher
Go - light it up - start a fire
Burn - let it burn - even higher
People of all ages love to sing this hymn and it makes one of the better graduation songs:
One More Step Along The World I Go
One more step along the world I go
one more step along the world I go
from the old things to the new
keep me travelling along with you
Chorus:
And it's from the old I travel to the new
keep me travelling along with you
Round the corner of the world I turn
more and more about the world I learn
all the new things that I see
you'll be looking at along with me
Chorus
As I travel through the bad and good
keep me travelling the way I should
where I see no way to go
you'll be telling me the way, I know
Chorus
Give me courage when the world is rough
keep me loving though the world is tough
leap and sing in all I do
keep me travelling along with you
Chorus
You are older than the world can be
you are younger than the life in me
ever old and ever new
keep me travelling along with you
Chorus

I think it makes one of the wonderful graduation songs.
Fantastic Graduation Songs
This is an amazing song, of all the graduation songs, which definitely deserves a separate mention - it's obviously perfect for graduation songs.
Enjoy!!!
I'm Not Gonna Cry by Corey Smith
Sunday shoes, cap and gown
The whole town gathered around
Waited 18 years now it's all comin down to this.
I scanned the crowd and it fills my soul
My best friends all here in rows
No turning back, now its time to walk that line
This tassel is gonna turn
But when the moment passes by
We'll just walk away
Then slowly grow apart
But I'm not gonna cry, no
Not one sad or happy tear
I've waited my whole life
Now I'm gonna fly right outta here
It's a bittersweet goodbye, but I'm not gonna cry
Friday night, football games,
First loves and first heartbreaks,
It didn't matter who won or lost,
Only how we played,
Memories as good as gold,
Tearin' up those mountain roads,
Racin' out 53, to old georgetown,
Sure we made a little trouble,
But learned from every mistake,
So there's no regret,
We've done the best we could
So I'm not gonna cry, no
Not one sad or happy tear
I've waited my whole life
Now I'm gonna fly right outta here
These have been the best years of my life
So I'm not gonna cry
Its been a lonely, winding journey
And we've lost a few along the way
Still we've hung in there through the tribulations
Now its time to celebrate
Its our graduation day
So I'm not gonna cry
Not one sad or happy tear
I've waited my whole life
So I'm gonna fly right outta here
This has been the best day of my life
So I'm not gonna cry
Its a bittersweet goodbye, I'm not gonna cry
Another fantastic graduation songs is by Green Day. It is called "Good Riddance" or some people also know it as "Time of Your Life". Please enjoy the graduation songs lyrics below:
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 time
It’s something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf of
Good health and good time
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what it’s worth
It was worth all the while
It’s something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It’s something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It’s something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
