    I love Carly Simon and I love this choral group of students. I play it often to get me through a tough time. The student talent is fantastic. The director's energy also lifts me up. Kudos to the percussion gentlemen also! The raving applause says it all.

    Wow this performance was so powerful.
    This song could be considered an anthem for the 1980s (and I so miss America... I mean the 1980s... same thing, really).
    It's so hopeful, upbeat and growing.

      WTH? It’s not the governments responsibility to provide for the arts. The governments job is to provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare(meaning our countries ability to do trade with other countries and maintain our infrastructure) and Secure the blessings of liberty. Congress and the Senate write laws, President signs or veto bills and it’s the job of the President to enforce the laws congress wrote. That is the job of the government. Private citizens can provide for the arts. It’s called charity!

      @gunner2gunner 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @ Samuel, are we talking about k-12 or are we talking about college/university? If it College/university then they decide how they want to send their money. They are schools of higher learning that are all about the Arts. Juilliard comes to mind. I’m sure they don’t have sports, but then again dancing is a sport if you think about it. Dancers are in excellent shape and condition.

    We're coming to the edge,
    Running on the water,
    Coming through the fog,
    Your sons and daughters.
    Let the river run,
    Let all the dreamers
    Wake the nation.
    Come, the New Jerusalem.
    Silver cities rise,
    The morning lights
    The streets that meet them,
    And sirens call them on
    With a song.
    It's asking for the taking.
    Trembling, shaking.
    Oh, my heart is aching.
    We're coming to the edge,
    Running on the water,
    Coming through the fog,
    Your sons and daughters.
    We the great and small
    Stand on a star
    And blaze a trail of desire
    Through the dark'ning dawn.
    It's asking for the taking.
    Come run with me now,
    The sky is the color of blue
    You've never even seen
    In the eyes of your lover.
    Oh, my heart is aching.
    We're coming to the edge,
    Running on the water,
    Coming through the fog,
    Your sons and daughters.
    It's asking for the taking.
    Trembling, shaking.
    Oh, my heart is aching.
    We're coming to the edge,
    Running on the water,
    Coming through the fog,
    Your sons and daughters.
    Let the river run,
    Let all the dreamers
    Wake the nation.
    Come, the New Jerusalem.
