where is the light which protects and guides us
who wanders through darkness looking, looking tirelessly for this,
this light that sees through us, with us, for us and in us
who calls us forth to become who we are
who we are
you will ask where is this light
where can I find it
is it in the moonlight at my window
or in the flicker of this candle
is it hidden somewhere in the books
or in the eyes of strangers or friends alike
where is this light
once upon a time lived a merry man
so the story goes
a very sherry merry man
you could see him any day dancing
or singing or crazy
-walking on a street like any
what made him merry
and so very sherry
was this smile he could see
this smile that got never lost
for it only and always sought to be found
this smile in everything
spoke to him
spoke to him for his eyes could see
and his heart could hear the quiet rumble
of this fire burning
in each and every little thing
it is a fire of love he would say
as he danced in laughter like a jumpy little toy
it is a fire of love
as he sang a tilly telly song of joy
and so the song would go
“oooh bring me the light
i know you know
inside your heart
your heart will show
not a long way but a long way
such a short way not a long way
be not lost in this riddle
for a way always lives
and breathes for this light
this light that is burning
deep in your heart
hear its voice for it will sing
see its dance and it will rumble
oooh bring me the light
I know you know
Inside your heart
Your heart will show
This fire of love
Always alive
Oooh come delight
And bring me the light
Inside your heart
Yes inside your heart”
Story long
the song a bit funny
The very merry man
may be a little crazy
But now you know
if you too want to be merry
A little tipsy and very sherry
Sing and dance
to the song in your heart
For it keeps love burning
And there is your light.
