lyrics

Oh lovely light of the world world of lovely light
enter my spirit and fight with the darkness
it will take some struggle, but what do I know.
You may rinse everything out with light
and renew the spirit. You may just be
and the burning sunset exalt.
Lifting up and exchanging the dark for light
the deep depression pit home destroyed
as Shiva danced it out, as a kachina of the sun
came and went and left the children happy,
the young parents at home with each other,
the fires burning in the sunset relinquishing
to the darkness and stars, at least the stars again.
“I give you the stars, you unhappy wretch.
I give you the light that was and will be again
and again and again and again, I give you the stars.”
