Albums > Crystal Stream > Lyrics > Track 2. Light behind the Sun

Far beyond the good men and the heroes
The stories written down on history's page
The prophets and the preachers, the thinkers and the teachers
Whose wisdom still shouts out from age to age
The many guides who'd lead us out into the wilderness
Or bid us sail on the uncharted sea
Some are saved and some are drowned, some are lost and some are found
But it's only you can still reach down to me

For the light behind the sun
It shone onto you, shone right through you
And it drives away the darkness, drives out the doubt and shadows from my soul

Some claim a revelation of their own path to salvation
Their key unlocks the secrets of all space and time
Some are so wise in their own eyes, they claim the holy franchise
Only they can share the bread and wine
The gospel vendor in his suit his slicked-back hair his polished boots
Carrying a big black book to make him sure
And he quotes a thousand spells to make you young and rich and well
Even he can't drag me from your door

Because the light behind the sun
It shines on to you, shines right through you
and it drives away the darkness, drives out the doubt and shadows from my soul

You are the song I'm singing
And yet you are the one I sing to
You are the solid ground beneath my feet
And the crumbling ledge my fingers try to cling to
You are the answer to my question
Then you make me question all my answers
You are my rock-bottom certainty,
Then you become... the slimmest of all chances

Walking in a world where pride and arrogance hold sway
And the gentle and the good so often fail
I seek the footsteps of the one to whom I dedicate this song
Oh but they took him and they hung him up on nails
I can't sell you a solution to all this pain and grief
I cry out Lord I believe, come help my unbelief
Keep my eyes lifted above, give me one more glimpse of love
Enough to sustain me for this day

And then the light behind the sun
Shines onto me, shines right through me
And it drive away the darkness, drives out the doubts and shadows from my soul
