In The Woods...: Let There Be More Light Lyrics

[Roger Waters, 1968]

Far, far, far away - way
People heard him say - say
I will find a way - way
There will come a day - day
Something will be done.

Then at last the mighty ship
Descending on a point of flame
Made contact with the human race
And at Mildenhall

Now, now, now is the time - time
Time to be - be - be aware

Carter's father saw it there
And knew the Rhull revealed to him
The living soul Hereward the Wake

Oh, my, something in my eye - eye
Something in the sky - sky
Waiting there for me

The outter lock rolled early back
The service men were heard to sigh
For there revealed in flowing robes
Was Lucy in the sky

Oh - oh - did you ever know - know
No no never ever will they
I'll say!

Summoning his cosmic power
And then glowing from his toes
His psychic emanations flowed

It's so strange, and yet so simple
Written on a piece of paper aeons ago
And in years to come,
I will be someone else
But still the same ever changing

This burden will always be present, leaving
stains of pride within your mind
A pride you will bare of your shoulders
until death ... do you ... part

The entirety I am yearning, I urge for
Where sense is
I passed it a thousand times, left it all behind
In search for more
Like children wandering childhoods meadows
Evolving stronger and still
Behaving like fools
For the sun shall shine upon you
Child of universal Tongue
