Live performance at Academy of Music, Philadelphia, PA on 5-12-09 - Leonard Cohen - "If It Be Your Will" - Leonard Cohen says he will recite the first two few lines of this song which he says is "more of a prayer" and which he says he wrote just a while ago while faced with some his own difficulties - and then says he will let Neil Larsen and Webb Sisters unfold the rest of the song for you - and they do just that - so beautifully!
"If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will.
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing."
