This document contains lyrics to a song describing the sound of voices singing together in harmony and surrendering to the mystery. It discusses the sound of one voice and the sound of all voices coming together. The overall message is about the power of people singing and making music together.

1. This is the Sound of
All Of Us
This is the sound of voices two
The sound of me singing with you
Helping each other to make it through
This is the sound of voices two
This is the sound of one voice
One spirit, one voice
The sound of one who makes a choice
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of all of us
Singing with love and the will to trust
Leave the rest behind it will turn to dust
This is the sound of all of us
This is the sound of voices three
Singing together in harmony
Surrendering to the mystery
This is the sound of voices three
I spent 3 years getting a Music Degree.
It’s about time I used it for something.
The Wailin' Jennys: One Voice

Why do stars
Fall down from the sky
Every time
You walk by
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Why do Birds
Suddenly appear
Every time
You are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Why do stars
Fall down from the sky
Every time
You walk by
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Why do Birds
Suddenly appear
Every time
You are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
