As the chains of the flesh left me
As the moans and the groans
Of the friend sent me
On my way to the Land of the Dead
I flashed... That my soul was Unharmed
As my earth form I shed
That the image of death had been
A thought in my head
And the truth was a spirit am I
I sussed... That my life had been a lesson
Chosen by me
For to purify my Thought that I may be
Worthy to shine forth the Light
The Light
The Light
As I moved ever up-ward
A Great Light there came
More feeling than seeing
And it filled me with Shame
Like a Bright Shining mirror reflecting my being
My present condition of Soul I was seeing
I Beheld... Forms of Great Beauty
That shone forth the Light
With love vibes they met me
A cast off my fright
Those great souls of Ages long passed
I praised the Great Souls of the Ages
Who care for our needs
Who lovingly nurture
Wisdom's bright seed
Showing the way to the Light
The Light
The Light
I ached... For the womb and the Earth
And another time around
Seking circumstances
The best that can be found
To give me the lessons to learn
I was Born... And thru childhood
My soul still rembembered the Light
And thru teens I fought fiercely
For my vision of the Light
When I saw Mum and Dad had forgot
The Light, The Light, The Light!
I Died... And I sighed As the chains of the flesh left me As the moans and the groans Of the friend sent me On my way to the Land of the Dead I flashed... That my soul was Unharmed As my earth form I shed That the image of death had been A thought in my head And the truth was a spirit am I I sussed... That my life had been a lesson Chosen by me For to purify my Thought that I may be Worthy to shine forth the Light The Light The Light As I moved ever up-ward A Great Light there came More feeling than seeing And it filled me with Shame Like a Bright Shining mirror reflecting my being My present condition of Soul I was seeing I Beheld... Forms of Great Beauty That shone forth the Light With love vibes they met me A cast off my fright Those great souls of Ages long passed I praised the Great Souls of the Ages Who care for our needs Who lovingly nurture Wisdom's bright seed Showing the way to the Light The Light The Light I ached... For the womb and the Earth And another time around Seking circumstances The best that can be found To give me the lessons to learn I was Born... And thru childhood My soul still rembembered the Light And thru teens I fought fiercely For my vision of the Light When I saw Mum and Dad had forgot The Light, The Light, The Light! Explain Request ×
