A song for the Heart, Mind and Body.

This, is no poem, this is a song... Try guessing the title before reaching the 8th phrase. I believe most seniors would know by the 1st phrase.. I like the lyrics a lot because it is very meaningful. For those who don't know the song, even after the 8th phrase, answer's at the bottom.


High in the sky,
Through the clouds and rain,
Every familiar field,
Seems like an old friend,
When every hand that you shake,
Is like a warm embrace,
Could only be one sweet place,
Home and the Heartland.

Sing out your songs,
And ring out your stories and rhymes,
Weave from your dreams,
The mystical dances that lead us to
Bind in heart and mind.

As we circle the world,
With our wandering airs,
Gathering here and there,
Leaving behind our share,
Like the leaves in the wind,
They are blown along,
Melodies rising from,
Home and the Heartland.

Sing out your songs,
And ring out your stories and rhymes,
Weave from your dreams,
The mystical dances that lead us to
Bind in heart and mind.

The song is "Home and the Heartland" from the musical "Riverdance", famous for it's traditional blend of Irish folk music and Irish step-dancing put on stage. In 2004, Nan Hwa Marching Band used a rearranged version of this song for their static.
