Heard a version of this song at a Choral Concert at the University of Texas at El Paso this evening. Was enchanted at that point and find this version very moving as well. Wonderful voices in this performance/ Thanks for the addition of the text.
I should add that the unified clear enunciation of the text -- so necessary in choral singing -- is exemplified beautifully by this choral ensemble. Bravo all! Bravo Maestro Armstrong!
All we are, we have found in song: you have drawn this song from us. Songs of lives unfolding fly overhead, cry overhead: longing, rising from the song within. Moving like the rise and fall of wings, hands that shape our calling voice on the edge of answers you’ve heard our cry, you’ve known our cry: music’s fierce compassion flows from you. The night is restless with the sounds we hear, is broken, shaken by the cries of pain: for this is music’s inner voice, saying, yes, we hear you, all you who cry aloud, and we will fly, answering you: so our lives sing, sing, wild we will fly, wild in spirit we will fly. Like a feather falling from the wing, fragile as a human voice, afraid, uncertain, alive to love, we sing as love, afraid, uncertain, yet our flight begins as song
So masterfully contrived I have not ever seen a human that could ever describe such eloquent masterfulness you are amazing but so are we and so we go thank you for your input you are just truly an amazing step in this chain of life
Let it go. I understand why you feel this way, but the text, music, and expression cannot get in the way when their whole hearts are expressed and exposed as they rock back and forth. Uninhabited and free.

and those that say, "oh where have our youths gone?" will take some time to ponder the glow and up lift they deliver here in their gentle response.

LOVE YOU ALL . THOSE SOUNDS GOOD VOICES .
Truly beautiful; both the song and even more so, the sublime choir. Gorgeous.
Absolutely sublime, and masterfully communicated this music.
beautiful voices, amazing song,... lovely....
Whenever I listen to this song and this rendition, I can't help the tears of joy - the beauty that's hard to express in words.
All we are, we have found in song:
you have drawn this song from us.
Songs of lives unfolding
fly overhead, cry overhead:
longing, rising from the song within.
Moving like the rise and fall of wings,
hands that shape our calling voice
on the edge of answers
you’ve heard our cry, you’ve known our cry:
music’s fierce compassion flows from you.
The night is restless with the sounds we hear,
is broken, shaken by the cries of pain:
for this is music’s inner voice,
saying, yes, we hear you,
all you who cry aloud,
and we will fly, answering you:
so our lives sing, sing,
wild we will fly,
wild in spirit we will fly.
Like a feather falling from the wing,
fragile as a human voice,
afraid, uncertain,
alive to love, we sing as love,
afraid, uncertain,
yet our flight begins as song
So masterfully contrived I have not ever seen a human that could ever describe such eloquent masterfulness you are amazing but so are we and so we go thank you for your input you are just truly an amazing step in this chain of life
I want to learn this amazing song on piano
Nice song..
My choir teacher knows it and I’m jealous
Gorgeous song, and singing, but I'm so distracted by the swaying.
