Thank you for putting Brother Bear and Wicked on here. Those are two wonderful songs with inspirational lyrics. I encourage everyone looking at this list to read the lyrics of the songs, or at least skim through them. Gracias a mis amigos, y que tengan un marvilloso día. (how's my spanish?: Thanks my friends and have a wonderful day.) God Bless you! / ¡Dios te bendiga!

BTW: I'm not fluent in Spanish (checks google translate)

No soy fluido en español

Yes.....Life IS a highway for sure....so many tunes that tip the hat to what we feel each time we graduate....(for those of us to graduated several times after high school)...for me, the experience of graduating felt the same in many respects as that first graduation.

Many great songs here to help us relish the moment...

Angels are on the way to you this early morning hour ps
