Light Approaches

Through the grasping tentacles of space I float,

A weary traveller lost in the void.

The time is coming and this I know,

For light approaches, light approaches...

Without the comfort of home I live,

Old Time, my lonely enemy; my friend.

But even He shall leave me soon,

For light approaches, light approaches...

Among the moons and planets I dance,

The song of the Cosmos gives life to my soul.

But my legs are failing and my arms are stiff,

And light approaches, light approaches...

Between the wicked rocks I move,

The silence is deafening; the crowd forlorn.

The dawn is breaking, now the crowd departs,

Soon light approaches, light approaches...

Around a million stars I dwindle,

A thankful smile; sweet tears on my face.

And now I see it before my eyes,

As light approaches, light approaches...

Toward the liberating Sun I drift,

Such beauty in my life I have never beheld.

A deep breath I take as I steady myself,

Now light approaches, light approaches...

So take me into your gentle care,

Sweet Giant; deliver me to my resting place.

I surrender myself to your loving embrace,

Light approaches, light approaches...
