Birds are singing sweet and low
From the trees that gently grow,
Soft and soothing breezes blow
On this lovely day.

To the meadows there go I
To wander as the butterfly
How the flowers please me eyes
On this lovely day.

I wish it could be always
Life is easy on such a day
I wish this peace on everyone
On this lovely day,

On this lovely day.
I wish this peace on everyone
On this lovely day.

  • Great Video!

  • @KoszaSzello I guess you missed his point. Lennon had a materialistic view of the world(in a philosophical sense, whereas St.Francis was a true Christian. By simply quoting "imagine there's no heaven" he showed how utterly at odds Lennon's song is with St.Francis concept of the world and life.

  • i was about 17 years old when i've first seen this wonderful movie :)

  • @nnkiikkls1 ... it’s easy if you try.

    No hell below us, above us only sky!"

    If everything became true what's written in this song we wouldn't need heaven - because that would be Real Heaven! Eternal peace and love and freedom and happiness would come to Earth:)

    "You may say I'm a dreamer - but I'm not the only one... " :)

  • hope they will remake or revived this film..such a beautiful film

  • @KoszaSzello "imagine there's no heaven"

  • Do you think John Lennon's Imagine would fit Brother Sun, Sister Moon??? :)

    "Imagine no possesions,

    I wonder if you can,

    no need for greed or hunger -

    a brotherhood of men!

    Imagine all the people

    sharing all the world...

    I think Saint Francis of Assisi could have sung this as well! :)

    Great movie and great clip, by the way! :)

  • Brother Sun Sister Moon is the most inspiring film I have ever had the pleasure of watching. I feel a lovely warm gentle calmness every time \\\\\\i watch it.

  • Ugh. Any more sugar and I'll have a spasm.

  • @ilisagirl Especially on a lap-harp (lever-harp).
