What is an inspirational song for graduating kindergartners to sing!?

Posting this for a teacher friend of mine…

I need to find a sweet, inspirational song my Kindergartners could sing this year for our graduation.
Last year we sang, "You Lift Me Up"–that song that Josh Groban made famous. It made the parents all teary and was perfect. We've done others like Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" in the past. I'm looking for something new and different. It kinda needs to be balladish, and be relevant to children. I like songs that have a nice message in them. We also usually learn some hand signs to go with any song we learn, so it should lend itself to that. If you know of anything post it here and I'm hoping we'll have something chosen by next week as graduation is just around the corner.

Its a wonderful world. Its so pretty and sweet. I can't seem to recall the guy who sang it but i'm sure you're familiar with it.
You know, the one that goes like this
I see trees of green,
Red Roses too,
I see them bloom,
For me and for you,
And i think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Download it and check out the lyrics. Its really pretty and inspirational.

Ohh i just read your question all the way through.. Haha silly me. But i like that song i would do it again :)

    its easy to learn, it has a lot of harmony so the kids will sound very cute singing it, and all the parents will know the song. good luck

    My 14 year-old suggest "Together" from high school musical. What about Whitney Huston's "Greatest Love"?

    "Friends" by Michael W. Smith, as long as your scholl is not anti-relidion. I don't mean that to be mean, but my daughters school prays and stuff and some don't. You could even make it shorter.

    Words:deborah d. smith
    Music: michael w. smith

    Packing up the dreams God planted
    In the fertile soil of you
    Can’t believe the hopes he’s granted
    Means a chapter in your life is through
    But we’ll keep you close as always
    It won’t even seem you’ve gone
    ’cause our hearts in big and small ways
    Will keep the love that keeps us strong

    Chorus:
    And friends are friends forever
    If the lord’s the lord of them
    And a friend will not say "never"
    ’cause the welcome will not end
    Though it’s hard to let you go
    In the father’s hands we know
    That a lifetime’s not too long to live as friends.

    With the faith and love god’s given
    Springing from the hope we know
    We will pray the joy you’ll live in
    Is the strength that now you show

    But we’ll keep you close as always
    It won’t even seem you’ve gone
    ’cause our hearts in big and small ways
    Will keep the love that keeps us strong

    Chorus
