Glee- Season 7- Episode 25: "Graduation & Commencement"

Chapter 1: Big News & Commencement Week: Part 1

Glee club practice on Monday:

"Hey Sugar." Scott said. "Hey. What's going on?" Sugar replied. "Well I..." Scott began, but was soon interrupted by Marley & Kitty. "We've got big news." Kitty said. "So do we." Bree and Jake said, coming in behind them. "Is that what this punch and lemonade is all about?" Sam asked. "Yeah, it's a celebration of sorts." Will said. "What's the occasion?" Madison asked. "A soon to be double-wedding!" Bree & Kitty said squealing. "Yeah!" The Glee club applauded and cheered at this news. Even better, I aced my history exam, and I'm graduating this year!" Kitty said. "Yes!" Marley replied, then ran over to embrace her fiancee. "I'm so proud of you." Marley said smiling. Kitty smiled back at her fiancee as well." "Congratulations Kitty cat." Scott said. "What's wrong Scott?" Will asked. Scott sighed, then began to explain: "I have to take a huge exam tomorrow which will mean the difference between whether or not I graduate." "Oh boy." Kitty said, her smile turning into a frown. "Yeah, and I'm dead nervous about taking it." Scott said. "Don't feel too nervous. My brother had to do the exact same thing before he graduated. He didn't ace it, but he did get a C- though on a math exam." Jake said. "Yeah, well I got a news flash for you, it's the same exam he took." Scott replied. "Good grief." Jake said. "I could use some tutoring for this exam, but I haven't been able to find anybody who's willing to do it." Scott complained. "Maybe I can help. I'm usually an A-student when it comes to math." Bree said. "You'd be willing to help tutor me Bree?" Scott asked. "Absolutely. Us Seniors & Glee club members have to stick together. There's no way we're not letting you graduate this Friday." "Thanks Bree." Scott said smiling. "My pleasure." Bree said smiling back at him warmly.

"OK, with that being said, it's time to get our final week of the school year under way. However, I thought we could use some help for this week." Will stated. "What did you have in mind Mr. Schue?" Sam asked. "Let's just say, these guys wouldn't miss a graduation for the world. With that, the alumni from New Directions came through the door. First Rachel, then Kurt, Quinn, Mike, Tina, Artie, Brittany, Mercedes & Blaine. "It's so great to see you guys again." Marley said. "We wouldn't miss it for the world." Rachel replied. All of New Directions took their seats. "OK, who wants to start things off this week?" Will asked. "I'll go Mr. Schue." Roderick said. "I'd like to sing with Joe." "Let's do it." Joe said. "Go ahead guys." Will instructed.

Roderick & Joe stood up and began to sing:

(Bold is Roderick, Italics is Joe, Underlined text is them singing together.)

So denied, so I lied
Are you the now or never kind?
In a day and a day love
I'm gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had?
Are you cool with just tonight?
Here's a toast to all those
Who hear me all too well

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon

Put your name on the line
Along with place and time
Wanna stay not to go
I wanna ditch the logical

Here's a toast to all those
Who hear me all too well

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon

All my time is froze in motion
Can't I stay an hour or two or more?
Don't let me let you go
Don't let me let you go

Here's a toast to all those
Who hear me all too well

Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to good bye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon, too soon
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to good bye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon!

"Yeah!" The Glee club applauded Roderick & Joe's performance. "Nice job guys." Will stated. OK, who wants to go next?" "I'd like to go Mr. Schue. I'd like to sing with Rachel." Marley said. Rachel smiled warmly at Marley and stood up next to her. "Take it away girls." Will said. With that, Rachel & Marley began to sing:

(Bold is Rachel, Italics is Marley, Underlined text is them singing together)

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming, but
There's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels lost, with no direction
My faith is shaken

But I, I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, 'cause...

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep your faith, keep your faith
Woah-u-oh!!

"Yeah!" The Glee club applauded the two girls' performance. Rachel & Marley smiled at each other as they took their seats. "Great job girls." Will stated. "Alright, we have time for one more performance today. Who's next?" He asked. "I'll go Mr. Schue. I'd like to sing with Quinn though." Kitty said. "I thought you'd never ask." Quinn said chuckling and joining Kitty at the front of the choir room. "Take it away girls." Will instructed. Kitty & Quinn smiled at each other, then began to sing:

(Bold is Quinn, Italics is Kitty, Underlined text is them singing together)

I am unwritten, can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it 
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, yeah

Oh, oh

I break tradition
Sometimes my tries, are outside the lines, yeah
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
But I can't live that way, no, oh

Staring at the before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you cannot find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, yeah

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, yeah

The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
