Mr. Carvelle.

Get outta here.

Go on.

Hey.

I'm Sally.

Stet... let me take those.

So, I have a question for you.

We found a great school in New York.

How do you feel about living with us?

A single note passes out of the ashes

A flickering ember begins

It's the courage to turn

when the pages have burned

And your story now seems at an end

Seasons stay and seasons go

Sending your memories adrift

It's the beautiful longing

embrace the unknown

That's the mystery of your gift

And the echoes of your melody

Will always live in these walls

And the lessons that you gave to me

Before you can fly you must fall

It's the beautiful longing

embrace the unknown

That's the mystery of your gift

There's a voice in the shadow

calling for more

There's a rhythm that beats from within

Lending your voice

to the warmth of your song

There's a strength in the choir of one

Pure is the voice that sees the place

Where the weight of your past

may now lift

It's the beautiful longing

embrace the unknown

That's the mystery of your gift

And the echoes of your melody

Will always live in these walls

And the lessons that you gave to me

Before you can fly you must fall

So sing higher and higher

A thousand new voices ring through

If you sing out of the fire

The courage you need comes from you

There's a voice in the shadow

calling for more

There's a rhythm that beats from within

Lending your voice

to the warmth of the song

There's a strength in the choir of one

And the echoes of your melody

Will always live in these walls

And the lessons that you gave to me

Before you can fly you must fall

It's the beautiful longing

embrace the unknown

That's the mystery of your gift

It's the beautiful longing

embrace the unknown

That's the mystery

Of your gift
