It's time for our annual graduation send-off tradition. A few years back, Here & Now's Robin Young sat down with Tom Rush to talk about his iconic "Child's Song," written by Canadian Murray McLauchlan in the turbulent '60s. If you are graduating, or someone you love is, grab a tissue. We'll also give a shout-out to graduates at our home station WBUR.

Hear the 2011 conversation and read the lyrics for “Child’s Song”
