The Light Pt. I Lyrics

When was the last time you were happy?

As that child who picked flowers on the soccer field

Where heavy steps beat anything that dared to grow pretty

Do you remember how you found sacred things only to throw them away

For fear of them being found and spoiled?

Were you happy as that girl who danced with the girl

Only to recoil from the roving searchlight

And find your back pressed up against cold barbed wire?

Were you happy as the boy who sat with the boy

Under the shade of a pear tree

Who wore gold rings on chains, under shirts, hidden?

Were you happy since you dug your love a quiet grave?

Since you wept in the depths of that great forest

And cried out at any hint of approaching revelry?

Now do you remember your Lady Eve?
