The Light. This song makes people think Henry Gaye is a Bhuddist. It is about life's struggles and the hope of the conscious mind that all days are not equal and all situations despite their weight, will always have an end. Henry Gaye has been through a lot himself. This is a song to the hopeful.
Lyrics
THE LIGHT Henry Gaye [yeah,yeah. Aha,aha. Yeah] I hold my head up high As I walk through the valley of death I know my life is at the mercy of the angels of death But my spirit has the strength defying every event that crossed my way [yeah] and I grew stronger as the way got longer repeating to myself that life is yonder knowing very well I was in Danger, Anger, Hunger [aigh!] I crossed the river of hell flowing with fire Killing my desire to climb from this mire But glory halleluiah I saw the fire Burning at the end of this tunnel of trial And this pilgrimage keeps me going further. There’s a light in the distance Like a little lonely blue star Just stretch your hands and reach out Hope in your heart Stumbling on step after step [tell’em] Knowing you will make it [aha] No stopping now just have faith Keep moving on. [ye, yeah, yeah] Fire rained from the sky in the quest to burn my will to live To make me change my course or fail the test that gives me life I refuse. I refuse to give up Live a faithless life of no respect Falling into a state of mind I really don’t expect. I refuse And my tears I tasted As they flowed into my open mouth All open wide to catch the breath of life that I deserve To be free Trials and tribulations spoiling concentration Making all I take turn into nothing but elusion Making me remember to begin some deep reflection. There’s a light in the distance [aha, aha] Like a little lonely blue star Just stretch your hands and reach out Hope in your heart [yeah keep on going brother] Stumbling on step after step Knowing you will make it No stopping now just have faith Keep moving on. [aha, aha, yeah, so, that’s how to do it baby] Could be a dream as it seems yeah But I gotta keep myself awake Never betraying any ambition I trust myself to attain I met the gypsy woman Who tried to interpret my dream in vain But ended up in tears of joy oh she was almost insane reading my future It was the very first time she heard a dream of that nature Poor creature, old teacher, oh bless her I watched the lines on her forehead As she tried to tell me what she saw I didn’t realize she wanted me to take her hands Till she said it almost in a whisper There’s a light in the distance Like a little lonely blue star Just stretch your hands and reach out Hope in your heart Stumbling on step after step Knowing you will make it No stopping now just have faith Keep moving on. [just have faith, just have faith, Just, just, just have faith Just have faith, faith, faith have faith Just have faith, faith, faith, faith] There’s a light in the distance Like a little lonely blue star Just stretch your hands and reach out Hope in your heart Stumbling on step after step Knowing you will make it No stopping now just have faith Keep moving on.
