If you like Loreena McKennitt,(or, if you don't know who she is) you need to watch this video.

It's the first song of hers that I heard 10 or so years ago and I have been a fan ever since. Check it out!

I do not have the same beliefs as she does, and I know alot of people freak out about her beliefs, along with the imagery in that first video, I think that could be fear, maybe doubt, don't know probably different for different people.

But anyway, she has a line in this video that is humbling. And an interesting comment on how many treat their beliefs.

We traveled the wide oceans
Heard many call your name
With sword and gun and hatred
It all seemed much the same.

Some used your name for glory
some used it for their gain
yet when liberty lay wanting
no lives were lost in vain

Is it not our place to wonder
As the sky does weep with tears
And all the living creatures
Look on with mortal fear

It is ours to hold the banner
It is ours to hold it long
It is ours to carry forward
Our love must make us strong

And regardless of how someone thinks on her beliefs, for most other religions consider her beliefs really bad, it does not make what she said any less true.
