I was walking through the university music building and I heard a group of students singing this song in the hall. I stopped and listened until they were done. I wrote down what lyrics I could and was able to find the song here. This performance is absolutely beautiful

what calls for it to be so fast? this is a piece of a love so pure that it it transcends time and distance and this rushing through it makes me think the narrator is just blowing off the feeling. yes the pitches are there, but they are the equivilent of a hammer hitting a nail you must have musicality in every pitch to make it worth the beauty of your voice.

I read this poem at my brother's wedding. I thought that it was the only one really worth reading at such an important moment. When I heard this at my school, I almost cried. It's beautiful
