The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Light Your Light lyrics
[The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Light Your Light lyrics]
I was talkin' with a woman
Who lives deep down in the soul
I asked her to tell me
What makes lovin' grow?
She said "My children, they are many
Though my days are very few
You see, in the horde of plenty
All may be here with you"
And then I asked this woman
What makes a man a man?
Some say it is in violence
The strong man shows his hand
But she said "I say it is in loving
That plays us all for fools
That a man may learn to know himself
And a strong man learn to choose"
(Woman, light your light)
Come on, show the way
(Woman, light your light)
Come on, show the way back home
She said "I have been broken
But, I regained my soul
I've cried in every heart
And laughed through every eye
I've walked on, through the shadows
Unknowing what I knew
And found love for the dying
In the newborn baby's cry"
Well she said "Precious moments
Sparkling like the rain
When the sumbeam pierces
Through the thunderclouds needing no wisdom
No memory of joy and pain
No frame for the beauty
That's shining through you now"
(Woman, light your light)
Oh come on, show the way
(Woman, light your light)
Come on, show the way back home
She was fate, she was destiny
She drew me far beyond the
Shores of my dreams
And she opened to me the sacred world
Where everything is precisely what it means
Who lives deep down in the soul
I asked her to tell me
What makes lovin' grow?
She said "My children, they are many
Though my days are very few
You see, in the horde of plenty
All may be here with you"
And then I asked this woman
What makes a man a man?
Some say it is in violence
The strong man shows his hand
But she said "I say it is in loving
That plays us all for fools
That a man may learn to know himself
And a strong man learn to choose"
(Woman, light your light)
Come on, show the way
(Woman, light your light)
Come on, show the way back home
She said "I have been broken
But, I regained my soul
I've cried in every heart
And laughed through every eye
I've walked on, through the shadows
Unknowing what I knew
And found love for the dying
In the newborn baby's cry"
Well she said "Precious moments
Sparkling like the rain
When the sumbeam pierces
Through the thunderclouds needing no wisdom
No memory of joy and pain
No frame for the beauty
That's shining through you now"
(Woman, light your light)
Oh come on, show the way
(Woman, light your light)
Come on, show the way back home
She was fate, she was destiny
She drew me far beyond the
Shores of my dreams
And she opened to me the sacred world
Where everything is precisely what it means
