(1970): Be, and Lonely Looking Sky. The story and the songs are about a little seagull who loves flight for its own sake and beauty, not just as a means to get from here to there. Flight is in his heart; it's his joy. His delight isn't well received by the elders of the flock...but he persists, living out the hope in his heart. And inspiring our own along the way.Leo Tolstoy wrote, "In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you." It's been said that we live in an age of human do-ing, not human beings. Like Tolstoy, Diamond sings that we might
Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the Sun God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way
And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard by the soul
Undertook by the heart
And you may know it
If you may know it
While the sand
Would become the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, holy
Sanctus, sanctus
Be...
...who God says you are. For God's sake, for your sake, for our sake: stop, look, and listen.
