I have to make a valedvictorian speech for my graduation, and I want to include some song lyrics in it to make it more personal (Instead of quoting Greek philosophers and the such.) Can anyone provide some lyrics from songs that may be deemed appropriate for use in a speech? Some topics could be on the future, education, graduating, friends, etc. I know there are a lot out there, but I need to find ones that would be allowed to be used. Thanks!
P.S. Not sure if this is in the right forum sweatdrop

I did a quick search for a few lyrics for you. I don't know if any of them will help, but I thought I'd try:
(you can cut them down if you want. Not having to use all of what I post, obviously! haha)
"I'm standing far ahead
Always looking backwards
I'm standing far behind
With eyes fixed on tomorrow
Breathe in deep, and open your heart again
The fire burns where the embers fall
So love, in spite of the pain you feel
For the lives we live - follow after all"
- Afer All, The Cruxshadows
"The sounds of yesterday still echo in my head
Distant conflicts unresolved
We were young once, and in love
Nothing was more real...more real to me"
- Helen (Nothing Left but Me), The Cruxshadows
"I will always
Go beside you
You will always
Understand me
And now, it's all the same to me
So be whatever you want to be
Go wherever you need to go
And when there's nothing left behind
Taken whatever you needed to
And leave it all into my mind"
- I Will Always, The Cranberries
"Will you remember the dress I wore? Will you remember my face?
Will you remember the lipstick I wore? This world is a wonderful place.
Will you remember the black limousine? Will you remember champagne?
Will you remember the things that we've seen? I will return here again.
Will you remember the flowers in my hand? Will you remember my hair?
Will you remember the future we planned? The world is not waiting out there.
I won't remember the dress I wore. I won't remember champagne.
I won't remember the things that we swore. I will just love you in vain.
Will you remember? Will you recall? Will you remember?"
- Will You Remember?, The Cranberries (I wasn't sure how to cut this one down, it's the whole song. It kind of reminds of prom or something)
'So beware of that pitfall
We don't have to change at all
And our light will not burn out
It's what freedom's all about"
- I Really Hope, The Cranberries
"All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears"
- Memories, Within Temptation
That's it for now. Just a quick look over some lyrics. ^_^

Thanks so much! All of these really help and I am having a hard time deciding which ones to use 3nodding . I hate having to write speeches, but it is one of life's many feats. I only hope that the audience will be able to recognize the poetic nature behind the lyrics. You're always so helpful.

You're welcome. ^_^ I'm glad that they helped. It was such a makeshift compilation. I figured it best to use bands that were of the gothic or alternative persuassion. 3nodding That would make it more personal for you. hehe. I try my best to help out when I can. heart
