Graduation
A graduation song for your daughter, from the parent who drove her there
You remember the first day of kindergarten and the night before her finals. Put both in a song, add where she is headed, and she gets a graduation gift that sounds like home.

A real graduation song
Xiomara’s best friend wrote it when she finished nursing school; a parent’s song follows the same shape.

Moments from the road to graduation
- The first day of school: the outfit, the backpack, the wave at the gate.
- A subject she fought with and beat.
- The friends she made and the ones graduating with her.
- The night she nearly quit and didn’t.
- What she wants to do next: a job, a city, a degree.
- What you want her to remember when it gets hard.
High school or college
A high school graduation song can look back at childhood and forward to leaving home. A college one can be more about who she has become and the work it took. The Xiomara sample, written for nursing school, shows how a song can celebrate effort rather than awards.
Style and voice
R&B / soul and upbeat pop make the song a celebration, which suits a party. A piano ballad with a female voice is the gentler choice for the car ride home after the ceremony.
For example
For example, a dad might write: she studied at the kitchen table every night with her headphones on and a bowl of popcorn; she failed her driving test twice and passed on the third try; in the fall she starts engineering school three states away. The song gets a scene, a bit of humor and a send-off, and her name carries the chorus.
