Gently from here on. Bend every swelling air, sweeping through one here and then beyond! Know this, before we both arrived, there stood a land just beyond our hearts, a new house for music, where goodwill is heartily carved with things, wonders, that open. Home for the concert from the stars born anew, singing into the ages unfurls, forever.
