I heard sound calling us
Telling us we were ready to meet him
I thought "Since he's telling us then we are ready"
What he didn't tell us was he was going to make us shout when we met him
And so we met him
And of course we shouted
For as long as I have been intelligible though
I've asked myself "Am I sure it was a sound or sounds?"
Then I read "Let us..."
These sounds (and this sound) always sustain us
