Two weeks ago I had my last day at my job. I had been at this job about five years and have made several great relationships with my customers. Some of my favorite customers was an elderly lady and her husband. They always loved when I came over and would sit on their back porch while I did my work and would talk to me and I could tell over the years that they really appreciated the attention that I was able to give them. The night before my last day I found out her husband passed away. I had bought flowers and made a card and plan to take it over that morning. Once I got there, she wasn’t crying. She was staying very strong and wanted to talk about anything but her husband’s passing. Before it was time to go, she surprised me. Knowing about my music career, she asked if I would sing her a song as we may never see each other again. I nearly broke down in tears. She was not a person by any means, but I had heard this song on my radio on the way to her house. I use this video and sang her this song. I recently learned that she showed it to her family, and they collectively decided to play the video of me singing at her husband‘s funeral. When you sing this song, sing it with intention because it can truly move people. - Mr. C
Out of the ruins and rubble Out of the smoke Out of our night of struggle Can we see a ray of hope? One pale thin ray reaching for the day We can build a beautiful city Yes, we can, yes, we can) We can build a beautiful city Not a city of angels But we can build a city of men We may not reach the ending But we can start Slowly but truly mending Brick by brick Heart by heart Now, maybe now We start learning how We can build a beautiful city Yes we can, yes, we can We can build a beautiful city Not a city of angels But we can build a city of men When your trust is all but shattered When your faith is all but killed You can give up bitter and battered Or you can slowly start to build! A beautiful city Yes, we can, yes, we can We can build a beautiful city Not a city of angels But finally a city of men A city of men

Detras de ruinas y duelo Y oscuridad Veras de pronto en el cielo Un has de luz Trae claridad Alumbrará y te guiará Puede ser aún más hermosa La cuidad, la ciudad Puede ser aún más hermosa Un lugar en la tierra Los hombres la harán realidad No hay final sin comienzo Hay que empezar Despacio aprenderemos Los ladrillos colocar Con decisión Con el corazón Puede ser aún más hermosa La cuidad, la ciudad Puede ser aún más hermosa Un lugar en la tierra Los hombres la harán realidad Si tu te sientes triste y perdido Y si tu fe te traicionó Puedes darte por vencido O empezar a construir Aún más hermosa La cuidad, nuestra ciudad Puede ser aún más hermosa Un lugar en la tierra Y al final será realidad Realidad

I was looking for a piano track to use for a cover with a few other friends and stumbled upon this one and love it. Do you mind if I use it? If so, how would you want to be credited?
May I use this to record a cover? If so, who do I credit for the music? If you want to respond outside of the comments my email is jd at jdsutter dot me.
@@ChrisMakesMusic Finally finished it. I linked to your channel in the credits. www.jdsutter.me/2019/08/my-cover-of-beautiful-city-from-godspell.html Thanks!
