The famous person smiled warmly and motioned for a little girl who was sitting in the front row to come on stage with them after noticing her with admiring, wide eyes.
The young girl approached the spotlight hesitantly, timid but with a glitter in her eyes. “Do you know ‘You Raise Me Up’?” the superstar asked her as he handed her the microphone and offered some words of encouragement. Cheers broke out from the throng, knowing that something wonderful was about to happen.
The young girl inhaled deeply, nodded, and then started to sing the first few notes of the well-known song, her tiny voice filling the arena. Initially, there was a general utterance of surprise, a mix of amazement and incredulity that someone so diminutive could have such a strong, soulful voice.
