Sing when you have nothing to say

.... a message written on a wall in the city centre near where I work. It's spooky that I saw it today, a day on which I have choir practice in the evening. Our choir - and hundreds of others - definitely has lots to say. Here are some lyrics from one of the songs in our repertoire:

Sisters, brothers, to all others
Let that be our guiding star.
Hearts on fire but no messiah,
Hear the music from afar.
Hear the music,
Hear the music,
Hear the music fromafar.
What we sing is what we are.

Unison in Harmony: Coope, Boyes and Simpson

Sometimes, when the spoken word fails us it is only in song that we can express ourselves.
