Personal Anthem 

Well, here we go with my first contribution to Sascha's excellent initiative about sharing songs that tickle our heart in some way. This one here can be safely called my favourite song for many years to come. It is an artistic rendition of the exact life-journey I have embarked on about 3 years back. I realize that the images are totally jumping seasons now, as this one was taken in the fall of 2005. It was the first fall I got to experience here in the wonderful area called Fuenfseenland, located south-west of Munich.
Originally, the song seems to be performed by Vanessa Williams and like with most songs, she might already have done a cover-version of a still older original or something. The version, I'm posting here, is a duet by Phil Perry and possibly his wife, Lillian Tynes Perry - I would have to investigate on this.
I'll be posting the lyrics below and suggest reading along as you listen to the song. This will thoroughly tickle your "romantic bone", I'm sure, so some of us might need to have some tissue at hand... O:-)

Update: After some problems with the video track I had to shrink down the aspect ratio and overall images size, so it would play smoothly. Also, the lyrics I found on the web didn't match everywhere, so I updated them according to what I hear them say.

This one
That one
Each one
Is God's Gift to the world

They are
We are
Each one
Is God's Gift to the world

There are no extra people
In a mansion or a ghetto
From where you start your journey
Anywhere you'll go

So look across the ocean
See those on distant corners
Or see the one beside you
Look in their eyes long enough and you'll know

This one
That one
Each one
Is God's Gift to the world

We are
They are
Each one
Is God's Gift to the world

And all the lonely people
The first ones are the last ones
All the great and small ones
The ones that win and lose

All of the remembered
Even the forgotten
From every single nation
You know it's true . . . true for me and you

This one
That one
Each one
Is God's Gift to the world

They are
We are
Each one
Is God's Gift to the world
