Ray Of Hope - Jon Anderson

A ray of light appears

And tells me someone’s there

A ray of hope

As if God’s lighting the lamp for me

A friendly hand takes mine

And leads me to the light

A blazing light

Beseeching me to see

A new dawn is beginning

A dawn of revelation

Dawn of illumination

To warm the heart and soul

One ray of light — that’s all

But oh, the joy it brings

A shining friend

That’s telling us we’ll all meet again

Imagine life after life

The dream we never dare to dream

Is ours tonight

A new age is born from one ray of light

There’ll always be some things

Wise men will never know

Why doesn’t God

Take all the hunger and fear away?

I’m certain

There is a greater plan

Some heavenly design

Where everyone finds love one day

There has to be a reason

For heartache and despair

And once we find that reason

It’s something we can share

One ray of light, that’s all

But oh, the joy it brings

A shining friend

That’s telling us we’ll all meet again

Imagine life after life

The dream we never dare to dream

Is ours tonight

A new age is born from one ray of light
