Step Into The Light

An attempt at the lyrics for Step Into the Light, from the recording at
Chula Vista 20/5/2016

Step Into The Light

Oh, all of your faith is in the shadow
And you hope for something more
Then you set yourself a code
To any reason to be sure

You believe 
So it's as simple as that
You believe
You know there's nothing more to add

So I don't care about the aliens, ghoulies or fairies
And the voices inside of your head
It's when your "I believe it's true, I know"
Then I start to get upset

Because you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
You just want it all true
Oh, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
You just have to say you do
But you can't really know
You can only believe 
Confidence borne on deceit

The only angels you should hear
Are reason, honesty, equality and love
The only devils you should fear
Are hatred, ignorance, greed, in a world full of people scared dumb

You believe
That's all it takes
You believe
That the writing is on a script?

So I don't care about your saviours, saints, sinners
And the weird mysterious ways
It's when your "I believe it's true, I know!"
Then I start to get dismayed

Because you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
You just want it all true
Oh, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
You just have to say you do

But you can't really know
You can only believe
It really is insane
All this crazy desperate need
For unknowable magic
Strange supernatural power
You're flying through space
At a million miles an hour
For four billion years
The sun keeps coming up
It's all too wonderful for words
But for you it's not enough
Then you should step out of the shadows
Yeah, step into the light




A song for those who find this world insufficient, and look toward transcendence, or religious ideas.
