The light spreads the darkness



When and where
And everywhere
The light spreads the darkness
Over the eyes so bright
Never say amen
Pleased with me and my scene
Windows sealed
The light breaks the sky
Open to another day and Dawn
I awake to the morning sun
The stars are the angels
And the gods are us
And I get on the bus
And I drive it home
And if I can't put it in my pocket
I don't want it
Because there is no end to this world
The all of all
The end to the end
We all jump up
And say never again
