‘Resonance’ by Sally Greenaway

Lyrics adapted from ‘The power of song’ by Kirsten Duncan

A sound begins deep inside.

Softly, shyly, sound emerges,

Whisp’ring, wafting, set adrift...

Fragile ember floating on warm breath

Into the void.

Silence...

A note so intimate

It carries the self into the unknown.

A spark, the embers combining,

Nurturing the passion to sing.

Voices entwining,

Notes string into melody,

Creative humanity,

Aching beauty,

The magic of harmony speaks ‘cross all divides.

The universal joy,

The power of song.

Amen.
