If you separated out the righteous anger we saw yesterday and focused just on the sense of hope and yearning there expressed, you could look to this song to sum that feeling up. I love that the singers are young and that the boy is seen scratching his leg just before the song starts. I love the smooth columnar strength of the darker girl’s thigh and the frail courage of all clear and mortal voices. I love the way a fourth singer responds to the gesture of beckoning offered part way through the song. I feel beckoned by this well-known round myself. Watch it here – and see if you don’t find your own self singing along.

Terry, Can’t open link.
all fixed now Mike – thanks for the catch!
Hi Terry – like minds…! I posted a piece recently on my blog featuring this song! I titled it “Elevated.”
A great song to keep in our hearts these days.
yes I read yours too when it came out. we must stay encouraged and as Professor Berwick says, remember to laugh.
