Lyrics:

"Wherever
God lays His glance
Life starts
Clapping.

The
Myriad
Creatures grab their instruments
And join the
Song.

Whenever love makes itself known
Against another
Body

The
Jewel in the eye starts
To
Dance."

-Hafiz

She's so wonderful. Her voice sounds tired though! I've been there, poor girl.

But SJB is my new obsession. I adore her.
