Creation began with the word to “Let there be light”,
So sunrise calls up a new world from darkness of night.
Whatever we know of the things we’ve seen or we’ve heard,
The gift only comes from the light or comes from the word.
No matter what thought takes flight,
No matter what fear,
You’ve one source of sight,
Just one word to hear.
To know is to see by the sunrise burning in you,
The way you must see if you see your seeing is true.
What’s true must be true on its own and not by your choice,
The same by a sight, by a sound, a vision or voice.
No matter what thought takes flight,
No matter what fear,
You’ve one source of sight,
Just one word to hear,
One union of love
That’s always been here.
