Most of the faculty and students from this school are practicing Buddhists. I think the idea of the song is a celebration of the fact that we are all One, in other words, we are all the Buddha as Taylor implies.

Well I like those sentiments a lot , and that's how I think also, for the record, I would describe myself as a ' panentheist sans/without dogma' . Another way I might describe myself is ' deeply spiritual but not religious' ( if that makes any sense )...I personally see no incompatibility between panentheism and an ' open minded/ free thinking' theism, although most evangelical theists do not agree...
...As it happens , I had an out of body experience, and also a very powerful mystic experience which actually relates to the name I'm using here...I've had about six screws, a metal plate inserted, bone graft, lost an eye, crushed L1 vertebrae yadda yadda....Yet I'm still walking, still talking...One of the surgeons said that was the most damage to a spine they ever saw without paralysis , he called it a ' miracle'...It's been my experience that if you happen to survive those close brushes with death, they can be very Spiritually Enlightening...But I digress

One thing I should explain is that I'm running on a cheap motherboard, with a shoddy ' SIS' chipset. Everytime I drop a soundcard in, Windows starts to messes up BigTIme...I'm too lazy to put in a new motherboard so I'm running without sound.
In other words, I CANNOT listen to the SONG, nor the audio on your videos either. So I'm sorely disadvantaged here
Sorry for the misunderstanding...But like I said, I REALLY like your sentiments/ explaination ....they DO seem closely aligned with mine...from what little I know about your spiritual views that is...
