Finding Your Voice

Here's to all dreamers and searchers.

The lyrics and music and voice by Neil Diamond.
From the movie, Jonathan Livingstone Seagull.





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 sun 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 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 sun 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...
