Jon Bon Jovi – Commencement Song at Rutgers University–Camden (full video)

This isn’t how your story ends, my friends,
It’s just a fork along the road.
Don’t say your prayers, save your amens,
You’ve come this far but you’re still far from home.
Don’t say goodbye, just say farewell
Write every line you live to tell
Hold your head like Harry, give ’em hell.
And as the night ignites the day
Make some memories along the way.

Write your song, sing along, love your life,
Learn to laugh, dare to dance, touch the sky.
Take pictures each step of the way.
Make this the best of the rest of your days.
Start your revolution and I’ll see you at the reunion.

Some friends will go and some will stay,
Okay, some last a chapter, some a page.
For some love comes disguised as lust
But you’ll find love when you find trust some day.
Do better than our parents did
In perfect wealth and wife and kids
Go draw your course then turn it upside down.
Go live your life, eyes open wide
Who’s to say what’s wrong or right.
Right?

Write your song, sing along, love your life,
Learn to laugh, dare to dance, touch the sky.
Take pictures each step of the way.
Make this the best of the rest of your days.
I say, go start your own revolution!
And I’ll see you at the reunion.
I sing go start your revolution and I’ll see you at the reunion!

PS: Song was included into the This House Is Not for Sale (2016) album (track called “Reunion”).
