Cat Stevens - God Is The Light Lyrics
God is the LightHow great the wonders of the heavensAnd the timeless beauty of the nightHow great then how great the Creator?And its stars like priceless jewelsFar beyond the reach of kingsBow down for the shepherd guiding him home.But how many eyes are closedTo the wonder of this night?Like pearls, hidden, deep beneath a darkStream of desires.But like dreams vanish with the call to prayerAnd the dawn extinguishes night here too are signs.God is the Light - God is the LightHow great the beauty of the Earth and the creaturesWho dwell on her.How great then how great the Creator?As it's mountains pierce the cloudsHigh about the lives of menWeeping rivers for thousands of years.But how many hearts are closedTo the wonders of this sight?Like birds on a cage, asleep with closed wingsBut as work stops with the call to prayerAnd the birds recite here too are signsGod is the Light God is the LightHow great the works of man and the things he makesHow great then how great the Creator?Though he strives to reach the heavensHe can barely surviveThe wars of the world he lives in.Yet, how many times he's tried,Himself to immortalise?Like his parents before him in the Garden of EdenBut like the sun sets with the call to prayerAnd surrenders to the night here too are signsGod is the Light EverlastingGod is the Light Everlasting
