O Sun by Day O Moon by Night Songtext
von Bruce Cockburn

A dream, pregnant with portent
A wall with gates of bronze
A being standing sentry
Androgynous and strong

I ask if I may pass through
Having stumbled all this way
The angel steps aside
The mighty gate swings wide

A libation for the journey
Jar of blood poured on the soil
You don′t need it anymore
Once you've slipped that mortal coil

O sun by day, o moon by night
Light my ways so I get this right
And if that sun and moon don′t shine
Heaven guide these feet of mine
To glory


The road goes rolling onward
Over hills and over plains
Through the light and through the shadow
Through longing and through pain

Pain brings understanding
Your mistakes will set you free
To sink into the spirit
To clear your eyes to see

O sun by day, o moon by night
Light my ways so I get this right
And if that sun and moon don't shine
Heaven guide these feet of mine
To glory

O sun by day, o moon by night
Light my ways so I get this right
And if that sun and moon don't shine
Heaven guide these feet of mine
To glory
Glory
Glory
