From somewhere came a harmony
Of trumpets, strings and saxes.
The Earth stood still and I, it seemed,
Was spinning on my axis.
Oh, how, since then, the years have flown,

That harmony I've heard.
That harmony I follow still,
That guides my path through space
And steers my spirit 'round the sun
And into your embrace.

Better to doubt and be doubted than wake up each morning with nothing to prove.
I don't know if we're all children of God, but I'm reasonably sure it's all or none.
