This song/video has been bringing such intense feelings of Love and Grace and just all around pure joy here today as I watch it over and over again....tears flowing down my face. I really wanted to share both the lyrics and the song/video with you all... I hope you find it as moving as I do. Much love.
Love!
Oh
Yeah
Take me to the table where we all dine together
And pluck me from the crowd and return me to my sender
Whatever path you follow push on till tomorrow
Love all serve all and create no sorrow
So many rivers but they all reach the sea
They telling me he's different but I just don't believe it
Love is the goal yes, and everyone shall reach it
Who ever seeks it
Seen and unseen
I don't want a reason anymore about the one I love, the one I love
I don't want a reason anymore about God above, God above
I just want to melt away, in all His grace
Drift away, into that sacred place
Where there's no more you and me, no more they and we, just unity yeah yeah, just unity yeah yeah, just unity yeah yeah, just unity yeah yeah
Well I don't wana count the leaves of the mango tree
I just want to taste it's sweetness
So you can defeat this above and beneath this
Yeah
Come one and all, come stand tall
And whatever your approaching dance or meditation
If you got love along than you shall reach the station
You find a road, the supreme abode
In this city all hearts shine like gold
Don't want a reason anymore about the one I love, the one I love
I don't want a reason anymore about God above, God above
I just want to melt away, in all His grace
Drift away, into that sacred place
Where there's no more you and me, no more they and we, just unity yeah, just unity, just unity, unity, just unity
Me and Jesus, Buddah, Moses, and Gouranga
All dance around, dancing on your thunder
Drunk on the wine of love for thee
Well tell me when will I be blessed to join the bliss of your company
Blissful company goes from sea to sea
From the depths of the valley to the mountain peaks
So many stories and so many fables of how the king sings of how the wall wails
Jerusalem to the Holy Himalayas
From Mount Zion to the hills of Jamaica
All land is holy, all land is sacred
All shall leave this world completely naked
Completely naked, completely
I don't want a reason anymore about the one I love, the one I love
I don't want a reason anymore about God above, God above
I just want to melt away, in all His grace
Drift away, into that sacred place
Where there's no more you and me no more they and we just unity oh yeah
Where there's no more you and me no more they and we just unity just unity
Where there's no more you and me no more they and we just unity yeah yeah just unity yeah yeah just unity yeah yeah just unity yeah yeah

Oh, I do.
Songs like this are not just beautiful; they're important.
And every tradition has them.
Here's the studio version of Unity by Trevor Hall & Matisyahu.
(Though/and I highly recommend watching the "Making of" that you linked to, above; the story is so beautiful!)
Here's a song I discovered around the same time, by Matisyahu - One Day.
Can spiritual music really make a difference, though?
Can it really open doors to opportunities for a lot of people to hear and be inspired by it, and possibly change the ways they think and act?
I'll invite everyone to turn to their own heart for the answer ..... does music move you? Do beautiful sentiments inspire you?
And, so, can spiritual music really have a real-world impact?
Maybe so. (<- Matisyahu interviewed and performing at the globally-broadcast Winter Olympics, in Vancouver, Canada).
Can spiritual music really make any kind of a lasting difference, though?
......Maybe so.
(Sufi Muslim Rock band Junoon performing in the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations in October 2001, when they were in the U.S. to play benefit concerts for the victims of 9/11.)
... Maybe so (some .... Grace ... from Ed Kowalczyk).
How does the "Maybe So" become a Yes?
Well, now --- that's up to us, now, isn't it?
Wholeheartedly,
Kirtanman
PS- Thanks for starting this thread, Carson; Good Vibes, literally!!
