Light of the Light
lyrics adapted from: Walt Whitman, "A Passage to India"

We can wait no longer, we can wait no more

After the darkness,
Unspeakable high processions
Sun and moon and countless teeming stars
We came down from the garden
Wandering with our questions,
Where this life?   O why this restless soul?

Who will soothe the fevered children,
Who will heal these separations,
Maybe even now it’s coming
We can wait no longer, we can wait no more

Let’s go together
I with you and you with me
We’ll climb the mountains, walk the trackless plains
Carry me through forever
Lift me up and wash me clean and
Let me melt into that endless flame 

Light of the light, light of the light, light of the light

O my soul.
Steer us to uncharted waters, hoist the anchor, shake out every sail.
My brave soul.
If they’re all the seas of heaven
Why should we not go where all maps fail?

We’ve been waiting in this harbor
We were built for deeper waters
Farther farther farther farther now

Light of the light, light of the light, light of the light
We can wait no longer, we can wait no more
