The Light
The Light
You could build a castle keep
With precious words, like blocks of stone
Hewn from a quarry deep
Perfectly formed and bedded home
Embracing isolation
And a darkness you can feel
No light no sign of life in here secures
The pure absence of fear
The light that shines outside
Keeps the darkness in
Each song we sing begins and ends
With hallelujah then amen
Each song we sing begins and ends
With hallelujah then amen
My humble house can be no more
Than just a shelter from most storms
With shuttered windows and padlocked door
I can pretend that I'm not home
To defend this refuge this retreat
I'd dig a moat so deep so wide
Fill it with the wildest beasts the man eating Ferocious kind
The light that shines outside
Keeps the darkness in
Each song we sing begins and ends
With hallelujah then amen
Each song we sing begins and ends
With hallelujah then amen
Should we search to reach safe haven
Of a Buddhist zen community
With music, love and meditation
Silence, stillness, sanctuary
Or live the dream and never worry
Seek the spotlight on the stage
Face the world somehow with courage
To walk in sunlight not in shade
The light that shines outside
Keeps the darkness in
Each song we sing begins and ends
With hallelujah then amen
Each song we sing begins and ends
With hallelujah then amen
Hallelujah then amen
Hallelujah then amen
You could build a castle keep
With precious words, like blocks of stone
Hewn from a quarry deep
Perfectly formed and bedded home
Embracing isolation
And a darkness you can feel
No light no sign of life in here secures
The pure absence of fear
The light that shines outside
Keeps the darkness in
Each song we sing begins and ends
With hallelujah then amen
Each song we sing begins and ends
With hallelujah then amen
My humble house can be no more
Than just a shelter from most storms
With shuttered windows and padlocked door
I can pretend that I'm not home
To defend this refuge this retreat
I'd dig a moat so deep so wide
Fill it with the wildest beasts the man eating Ferocious kind
The light that shines outside
Keeps the darkness in
Each song we sing begins and ends
With hallelujah then amen
Each song we sing begins and ends
With hallelujah then amen
Should we search to reach safe haven
Of a Buddhist zen community
With music, love and meditation
Silence, stillness, sanctuary
Or live the dream and never worry
Seek the spotlight on the stage
Face the world somehow with courage
To walk in sunlight not in shade
The light that shines outside
Keeps the darkness in
Each song we sing begins and ends
With hallelujah then amen
Each song we sing begins and ends
With hallelujah then amen
Hallelujah then amen
Hallelujah then amen
