Something wrong with the clip?

Maria:
Reverend Mother, I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself. -The hills were beckoning and... the sky was so blue today... and everything was so green and fragrant, I had to be a part of it. The Untersberg led me higher like it wanted me to go through the clouds.
Mother Abbess:
Suppose darkness had come and you were lost?
Maria:
Mother, I could never be lost up there. That's my mountain. I was brought up on it. It was the mountain that led me to you. When I was a child, I would come down and climb a tree... and look in your garden. I'd see the sisters at work and hear them sing... Which brings me to another transgression, Reverend Mother. I was singing out there today.
Mother Abbess:
Only in the abbey do we have rules about postulants singing.
Maria:
I can't stop wherever I am. Worse, I can't seem to stop saying things. Everything I think and feel.

Oh please Mother do let me ask for forgiveness
00:00:03.461 --> 00:00:05.295
If it would make you feel better
00:00:05.038 --> 00:00:08.715
Yes Well you see the sky was so blue today
00:00:08.008 --> 00:00:10.759
and everything was so green and fragrant
00:00:10.843 --> 00:00:12.928
I just had to be a part of it
00:00:13.012 --> 00:00:15.055
And the Untersberg kept leading me higher and higher
00:00:15.139 --> 00:00:17.349
as though it wanted me to go right through the clouds with it
00:00:17.433 --> 00:00:19.685
Child suppose darkness had come and you were lost
00:00:19.769 --> 00:00:22.437
Oh Mother I could never be lost up there
00:00:22.522 --> 00:00:24.094
That's my mountain I was brought up on it
00:00:25.001 --> 00:00:26.942
It was the mountain that led me to you
00:00:27.026 --> 00:00:28.277
Oh
00:00:28.361 --> 00:00:30.571
When I was a child I would come down the mountain
00:00:30.655 --> 00:00:33.782
and climb a tree and look over into your garden
00:00:33.866 --> 00:00:36.702
I'd see the sisters at work and I'd hear them sing on their way to vespers
00:00:38.162 --> 00:00:41.582
which brings me to another transgression Reverend Mother
00:00:41.666 --> 00:00:44.002
I was singing out there today without permission
00:00:44.127 --> 00:00:48.714
Maria it is only here in the abbey that we have rules about postulants singing
00:00:48.798 --> 00:00:51.003
I can't seem to stop singing wherever I am
00:00:51.384 --> 00:00:53.927
And what's worse I can't seem to stop saying things
00:00:54.012 --> 00:00:56.305
everything and anything I think and feel
