Lyrics
Clearly
© 2014 Bruce Mills (SOCAN)
"In my tour last year in Mysore [State], I met many poor villagers, and I found upon inquiry that they did not know who ruled Mysore. They simply said some God ruled it. If the knowledge of these poor people was so limited about their ruler, I, who am infinitely lesser in respect to God than they to their ruler need not be surprised if I do not realize the presence of God, the King of Kings. Nevertheless I do feel as the poor villagers felt about Mysore, that there is orderliness in the universe." Mahatma Gandhi (1931)
Clearly, I can see the promise
In the book of Wisdom
Written for the ages
Freedom, I can feel the fire
As it burns so slowly in the tree of knowledge
No true religion
Water - the world is an ocean
No sky to fall, no ground to break
No witness when heaven's door opens
Creation is spoken with words of life
Time now begins
Chorus
Children, from suffering coming
Across the desert, the distance so far
Faithful, the people dividing
Sacrifice given -salvation to claim
No true religion
Clearly, I can see the promise
In the book of Wisdom
Written for the ages
Freedom, I can feel the fire
As it burns so slowly
In the tree of knowledge
No true religion
Clearly, I can see the promise
In the book of Wisdom
Written for the ages
(+) Freedom, I can feel the fire
As it burns so slowly
In the tree of knowledge
No true religion
Freedom, I can feel the fire
As it burns so slowly
In the tree of knowledge
No true religion
