From "Sunrise" by Lee Alexander and Norah Jones. Punctuated exactly this way. Does this make any sense at all?
I can post more lyrics if you think they'll help. I stopped looking at lyrics on the web since none that I saw agree with those on the Feels Like Home cd (which was produced by Norah Jones, so I assume she agreed to the lyrics in the insert well, I did until I thought about it).

[nq:1]The Euro anthem is beautiful music. The words were penned by a famous poet, Schiller.[/nq]
Nitpick: The anthem of the European Union, officially speaking, doesn't have words. It's just the music, without Schiller's poetry.
