Analysis of The Glow
I went walking in the spirit
Hoping to cleanse my soul
I was running for a lifetime
Trying to reach my goal
I stood talking to the preacher
Wishing he'd pray for me
I sat list'ning to a guru
He told me let it be
Still I'm searching for an answer
All day at every hour
And I'm lookin' for a reason
Wond'ring 'bout the power
Now I'm asking you a question
Does anybody know
How I'm living for the feeling
Of God's eternal glow
