Illumination is a plea to the Creator to help me escape the chains of human conditioning, of feelings of hopelessness, lack or despair, and step into a greater awareness of who I am, and of what this life can be.
Lyrics
ILLUMINATION / Susan B. Shann / © 2006
It’s dark and it’s cold in this place
Haven’t seen the sun for days
No one laughs here, no one cries out loud
No one even seems to care what it’s all about
And I don’t know how much more I can take
Maybe it’s time to plan my escape…
Illuminate my world, give me a sign
Help me write a brand new story, throw me a line
Let me dance out in the open like never before
Fill my cup ‘til it runs over, keep me coming back for more
Pacify the hunger of this sweet anticipation
Wash me in the wonder of your
Illumination, illumination…
I’ve heard that Heaven is a state of mind
If heard it said that if you seek, you will surely find
So here I stand, nothing to feign or fear
After all, aren’t you the one who brought me here?
To be bound by this flesh is my only sin
Won’t you lead me to the freedom that lies within…
Illuminate my world, give me a sign
Help me write a brand new story, throw me a line
Let me dance out in the open like never before
Fill my cup ‘til it runs over, keep me coming back for more
Pacify the hunger of this sweet anticipation
Wash me in the wonder of your
Illumination, illumination…
INSTR.
To be bound by this flesh is my only sin
Won’t you lead me to the freedom that lies within…
Illuminate my world, give me a sign
Help me write a brand new story, throw me a line
Let me dance out in the open like never before
Fill my cup ‘til it runs over, keep me coming back for more
Pacify the hunger of this sweet anticipation
Wash me in the wonder of your
Illumination, illumination…
