I love this song, and I love everyone who writes to this site. I love all of you, and I send you all best wishes! I especially spend wishes to those who are in ill health. I wish all the best to you!

I have enjoyed this video for quite some time now.
It touches me very deeply.

Just today I thought to find the lyrics.
So, I am reading and listening and crying.

WOW!!!

I’m so relieved at Marc and Octavio’s comments – to know I’m not the only one who for some reason winds up in tears at that video. The song is Perfect not only for the video but by itself as well. Kudos to the song writer, singer and Matt (and those who sponsored him too). A lovely inspiring, heart warming combination.

The Undergraduate students at Indian Institute of Technology,Kharagpur, India, had compiled a video showing a guy dancing at a lot of locations in the college with the song in the background. The music blew me away. I traced the song to the original video, singer, musician and finally the lyrics.
The boundaries which we rigidly uphold, in our minds…the languages, the borders, the physical appearances, and, other innumerable differences with which we tend to differentiate ourselves…..all mean nothing ….at the end of the day. The sooner we all realize this, the sooner we will see through.
May the MATT breed thrive.
To a unified, diverse and peaceful GREEN EARTH…Our HOME

I have adored the song (& video) from the first time I saw it probably more than a year ago. I just today went in search of the lyrics (& translation) & I’m glad I did. The English & Bengali versions are actually fairly similar I find, in the overall poetic statement & philosophie. Lovely. And seeing so many replies that echo the appreciation of it all, gives me renewed hope for the world & mankind. Hugs to you all

My husband is terminally ill as well. This has been been a fact in our lives for over 2 years now. For almost that long, Matt Harding has been a daily inspiration to me. Praan. God bless Matt and Melissa. I hope you come to Phoenix, so we can dance with you.

I have recently had two bone marrow transplants in the space of 4 months, neither was a very pleasant experience. I’ve never felt worse, or been closer to dying in my life. This piece was my survival music through them both. Whether or not the English translation is truly accurate to the Bengali makes little difference,

“It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth
and of death, in ebb and in flow.

I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

I am so grateful to this poem for reminding me over and over that life, including those malignant cells coursing through my veins, is precious. This song allowed me to love and honour both the illness (“make the parasite your ally) and those heroes who supported me, cared for me, and loved me during my treatments.

Thank you for this beautiful song and video, it, and the collective love and wisdom of the ages saved my life.
