Hello everyone - Happy New Year! An unusual request. My son's bar mitzvah is next sat. and towards the end of the service I will be called up to congratulate him and give a little speech. There are so many wonderful lyrics circling in my head that I would like to use when closing, many of them coming from unthought known, but thought perhaps one of you would have another suggestion, He is a fantastic kid. probably no one will recognize the lyrics(their loss) but I'll know what inspired me. Thanks!

    That's a tough one! I was trying to think of some PJ lyrics that could be appropriate for a Bar Mitzvah speech.... and I'm not even Jewish!!LOL one that jumped out at me was from Light Years "We were but stones, your light made us stars..."
    I always thought that was the most profound compliment I ever heard someone give...maybe that could apply and be a nice way to conclude your speech?

    I Am Mine is about becoming more independant, perhaps a line from there?

    I know I was born I know I will die, the in between is mine. That's my motto. However, I don't think it will be well received by the rest of the congregation! Fuck em if they can't take a joke? Seriously, I think I will play it safe and wish that the sky shower him with gems and rhinestones. I get choked up every time I think of saying that. The crowd may question where I came up with that, but I'll know.
