Standing In The Light |
| A summers day in sixty-eight |
| Sunlight through a window falls across the page |
| A young boy tries to concentrate |
| His mind would rather fly beyond the classroom cage |
| He can take the teachers voice |
| Turn it into music from another place |
| All the other kids dont have that choice |
| Hanging on to every word the teacher says |
| Day and night — we will be touched |
| Standing in the light — dont shadow the genius |
| So out of school he walks alone |
| Soon his thoughts are flowing like a golden stream |
| An empty house he calls his own |
| This place becomes a temple to a silent dream |
| Sometimes he will clap and sing |
| Then deep in meditation he will learn to be And only birds upon the wing |
| With upward fascination claim to be so free |
| Day and night — we will be touched |
| Standing in the light — dont shadow the genius |
| Your smile, your freedom |
| Comes to you from within |
| Still a child with a reason |
| Youre afraid but its time to begin |
| Blow the wind of change |
| Though the words are strange — to hear |
| Say whats on your mind |
| Now is not the time — for fear |
| A summers day in eight-one |
| Sunlight through a window falls across the page |
| A young mans fight has just begun |
| And rising up inside him is a burning rage |
| They called his dream a fantasy |
| A song that every child has sung since time began |
| But just as long as he believes |
| Standing in the light hell make them understand |
