“Sing, boy! sing! The ages are waiting for you. Sing! sing! All the world will hear you. God knows what will come of it.”
“Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men”
“Sense is the song you sing out into the world, and the song the world sings back to you.”
“This is me, God! Elisa. I once saw you in all the world. But the world is dark now, Lord. Full. Full of darkness. Close your eyes for a moment, God, and let me sing to you. Let me remember that you are here. Here in the notes. Smiling down as I play for you. Just this moment, God, let me sing to you. And maybe in the song, I will forget whether I am singing to you, or you are singing to me . . . ”
“You know I've always wanted someone to sing to me, but now I know that what I want more is to sing to you.”
“I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think.”
