The Light Lyrics - Donovan Leitch

From the album donovan 

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 

Chosed by me 

For to purify my Soul 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!
