Be

Lost 
On a painted sky 
Where the clouds are hung 
For the poet's eye 
You may find him 
If you may find him 

There 
On a distant shore 
By the wings of dreams 
Through an open door 
You may know him 
If you may 

Be 
As a page that aches for words 
Which speaks on a theme that's timeless 
While the One God will make for your day 
Sing 
As a song in search of a voice that is silent 
And the Sun God will make for your way 

And we dance 
To a whispered voice 
Overheard by the soul 
Undertook by the heart 
And you may know it 
If you may know it 

While the sand 
Would become the stone 
Which begat the spark 
Turned to living bone 
Holy, holy 
Sanctus, sanctus 

Be 
As a page that aches for word 
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless 
While the One God will make for your day 

Sing 
As a song in search of a voice that is silent 
And the One God will make for your day

-- Neil Diamond (1941- ), American singer-songwriter, from the Grammy-Award winning soundtrack to the movie Jonathan Livingston Seagull, 1973

(When I was 9, my mother took me to see this movie, and this song and scene left a very deep impression on me. This remains one of my favorite Neil Diamond songs of all time, and the lyrics are beautiful.)
