In the House of Stone and Light

O Mount Kailas
Uncover Me
Come My Restoration
Wash my body clean
I've been walking
Along a crooked path
Where the walls have fallen
And broken me in half

CHORUS:
I'm telling you
I will not rest till I lay down my head
I'm gonna go
In the house of stone and light
I shall not cry for the blind man I leave behind
When I go
In the house of stone and light
In the house of stone and light

Holy lady
Show me my soul
Tell me of that place
Where I must surely go
Old man waiting
At the gates for me
Give me the wisdom
Give me the key

CHORUS:
I'm telling you
I will not rest till I lay down my head
In the house of stone and light
Make my way O gonna be such a beautiful day
In the house of stone and light
In the house of stone and light

Let me in beneath my skin
In the house of stone and light
It's been so long
My spirit's been at war
Havasupai Shaman
Let me be reborn

CHORUS:
And I will embrace the sun upon my face
Come the day I awake the child inside
In the house of stone and light
And when I go I will op-op-open my eyes
In the house of stone and light
I will see you
In the house of stone and light
I'm looking in beneath my skin
In The House Of Stone And Light

When I first heard this, I thought it coulda been either Sting or Peter Gabriel... whoa, was I wrong!!!!

I love this guy's voice! This song, it's so beautiful, so mesmerizing! "Ow!" *Huh baa bada ba da baah ba ba ba baah da-da-da-da-da dah!...*

Great song by the guy who also wrote "We Built This City"

@snuffy02 Nope. Bernie Taupin wrote "Light in Your Heart" and "Monkey in My Dreams"--all of the other lyrics on the album were written by Martin Page himself; in fact, in several interviews, he has stated that the lyrics were inspired by a visit to the Grand Canyon when he was going through a low point in his life. The natural beauty, the people he met, and the friends and family who supported him during that time gave him the strength and inspiration to write this.

@Correographed4x Martin Page has stated that he LOVED Genesis when he was a growing up, and when his family moved from base to base for his father's job, he would shut himself in his room and just listen to Peter Gabriel-era Genesis and the Beatles. The influence is there, but I think that Page has his own way of expressing himself and his own sound--it resonates on a similar, but unique, level.

@dkmedicine He might have a better chance of getting your message if you post it to toasterrodeo, the account of his assistant, Vanessa Leavitt. You could also try his martinpagemusic account, but that one hasn't really been active in some time.

I'm also sorry to hear that one of his cats scratched him badly enough to land him in the ER, but I'm glad he's okay. He has said in the past that they are pretty savage critics, though.

geat song!
