found the lyrics to the song that's been in my head on an old website (.de = denmark?)... but it's not online anymore, just in an old google cache... here they are:
1. For the man and for the woman,
for the body and the soul,
for the mind and for the spirit,
for the love that makes us whole;
for the person and the people,
for the many and the few,
for the tradition and for custom,
for the fresh and for the new.
2. For the friendship, for the suff'ring,
for the pleasure and the grief,
for the learning and the list'ning
for the doubting and belief;
for the sound and for the silence,
for the labour and the pray'r,
for the rock and for the folwer,
for the earth and for the air.
3. For the harmony of nations,
for the sounds of many lands,
for the rhythm, for the chanting,
for the language of the hands;
for the richness of the senses
for the colour and design,
for the weaving of the pattern,
for the circle and the line.
4. In the dancer and the poet,
in the singer and the song,
in the artist and the actor,
on the flute and on the gong,
we will praise you, great Creator,
Light of light and Fire of fire;
make us one and makes us many,
your delight is our desire.
apparently a very obscure song, so where on earth do i know it from? sounds to me like a valpo-esque processional, but my valpo music friends online right now don't recognize it either... oh well mystery solved.
on the other hand, apparently i'm a horrible person. i was reading happily in the family recliner earlier this afternoon when dad came in the room, sat for 5 minutes and then went and turned on the TV without a word and left the room... i went to turn it off (no one was watching it and i was doing quite well with the quiet before) and he got mad at me for doing so... just now, i'm working at the computer listening to a dateline report or something and he came in and changed the channel and left the room again walking through every 15 minutes for about 5 seconds... apparently i'm bad because i changed it back to what i was watching to begin with... i miss having my own space... at least in my apartment in jersey, if you're in the common area first, it's assumed you get priority with it, or you at least ask before turning on the TV when someone else is working or whatever... it's a first come first serve, not dad controls the TV and rearranges everyone else's life... blah. ok, back to work. later.
