"The Light"
I Died ... and I sighed
As the chains of the flesh left me
As the moans and the groans
Of the friends 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 is 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 for 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
and they shone for 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
They lovingly nurture
Wisdom's bright seed
Showing the way to the Light
I ached ... for the womb and the Earth
And another time around
Seeking 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!

Thank you runeespa for putting this song up. I haven't heard it since the 70's. It was way beyond it's time - I would love to hear someone redo it now that so many more people have seen the light. I saw it in 1970 when I was struck by lightning and it was very much what he expresses in this song.

Saw Donovan end his set with this song opening up for Yes in 1978, really went over great live. Strange song, doesn't really blow me away in the studio version, still, pretty cool sound!
