Name: The Orchestra of Life
Duration: P00H04M55S
Description: We spent quite some time getting the musical ideas to fit. It was like a puzzle where some of the pieces had ended up on the floor somewhere. The song is about every person carrying one special tone. The mission in life is to express that note. It's only when we try to sing other people's tones that it will sound false or out of tune.

lyrics

In the orchestra of life
every being is a tone
Soft, strange or strong
in the chorus of life’s song

Only you can reach that note
no one else can play your part
In the orchestra of life
every one is perfect pitch

We are perfect tones
We are the perfect One

It could be flute or tambourine
or the sound of tympani
sharing who we’re born to be
in unison or harmony

Only you can reach that note
no one else can play your part
and you are held
and you are loved

In the orchestra of life
every one is perfect pitch
so lift the filt of the keys
our voice is coming through

We are perfect tones
We the perfect One

In the orchestra of life
somethings’s missing
when you’re not there
It’s the chord of love and light
the chord of love and light
love and light

We are perfect tones
we are the perfect One
We are perfect tones
we are the perfect One

in the stillness of my heart there’s only One
in the stillness of my heart the perfect One

in the stillness of my heart there’s only One
in the stillness of my heart the perfect One
