Earth, Wind and Fire - See The Light

One of the most beautiful EWF songs ever.

SEE THE LIGHT
Larry Dunn, Philip Bailey & Louise Hardy

Lookin' through the clouds, what do you see?
Sky of gases, child in need
Troubles everywhere, more than I can bear
So I'm searching from within
Help them see the light

I'm a blossom, in the sun, sunshine of love
Singing loud to the one, I love above.
Shine on sun, let your light, guide my way.
For so long, there's been such darkness,
Got to be a better way
Keep me lord, help me to grow.
So I may, reap the fruits, of a free and happy soul.
Help them see the light.

Give me strength, when temptation calls.
Lift me up when life's battles make me fall.
Shelter me from the evil and the wrong.
So when ya call, dear lord, I said I'll be strong.

Walk with me, when the stormy nights are cold,
In your hand lies all control.

Master, then when my final song is sung,
With your mercy, I pray that you'll say well done.
Help them see the light.

[MrFcordeiro1]

I've no words to speak about this song...That's why EWF was Miles Davies favourite artists

[GZuraman]

@MrFcordeiro1 Really!? I didn't know that! How do you know that?

[doc2skate]

Now we know where Caldera got their influence.

[GZuraman]

@doc2skate I knew a funky fusion band called Caldera in late 70's. But, Caldera was a Venezuelan president from my country. Waht Caldera are you talking about? 

[doc2skate]

@GZuraman You got it. Caldera was a Jazz Funk band (1976-1979). The players were Eduardo del Barrio (formerly of EWF), Jorge Strunz, Carlos Vega, Mike Azevedo and Steve Tavaglione. Larry Dunn of EWF was a guest musician on two their albums ("Sky Islands", "Time and Chance").

[GZuraman]

@doc2skate Wooof!! Just great. I loved the sound from that band, but I never knew that Eddie Del Barrio and Larrey Dunn played with them. Please, can you put a link here or something that could let me obtain that music? XD

[BarryBRemix]

Larry Dunn amazes me to no end...

Of all of EWF's music catalog, this song is my favorite. I love the spiritual message in it. A prayer in song. Happy 40th Anniversary EWF!

Jesus is the light not the sun in the sky. Jesus can heal Maurice of his illness if he turns to Him who is faithful and true. Jesus created all even the elements.

Incredible!

[MsIamWoman]

Philip Bailey's lead vocals on this song are indescribable...such a gifted falsetto!! Larry Dunn's writings and musical direction for this band are legendary, along with Maurice White's and Al McKay's. This band was and is comprised of pure TALENT...men who were gifted beyond their years, and that is a gift that can only come from the Almighty, Himself. Earth, Wind and Fire were all about sending positive messages out into the world. I thank God for them!! Thank you for sharing.
