Do any of you have an idea for appropriate PJ lyrics I can quote for a graduation speech? I am a teacher and have to speak at graduation this year.

    Someone did "I know I was born and I know that'll die" from "I am mine" for my graduation. Something from Long Road maybe.
    Most high school kids might like feel like whatever animal is on the leash in "Leash".
    "Inside job" would be a good one to.

    The first song lyrics that came to me after reading your post weren't exactly PJ lyrics but they are Eddie lyrics.
    The lyrics are from the song rise by Eddie. The song is such an incredible song that I thought it might be fitting for you. I figured I throw the idea out there to try give you some help.

    Rise by Eddie

    Such is the way of the world
    You can never know
    Just where to put all your faith
    And how will it grow

    Gonna rise up
    Burning black holes in dark memories
    Gonna rise up
    Turning mistakes into gold

    Such is the passage of time
    Too fast to fold
    Suddenly swallowed by signs
    Low and behold

    Gonna rise up
    Find my direction magnetically
    Gonna rise up
    Throw down my ace in the hole
    I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
    I'm never going back again.

    My cousin used this from Bee Girl:

    "You know time is long, and life is short.
    Begin to live while you still can."
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way.
    Don't pack themselves together and run as one.
    Don't shit where they're not supposed to.
    Don't take what's not theirs. They don't compare.
    Students. They don't compare.

    But this ain't no movie.
    This ain't no book you can close.
    When the big lie hits your eye.

    Everybody's practicing.
    Our world's an accident.
    I was the fool because I thought.

    I thought the world. Turns out the world thought me.
    It's all the other way round. We're upside down.

    seek my part - devote myself

    Stoplight plays its part
    So I would say you've got a part
    What's your part? Who you are
    You are who, who you are...
