Light of the Ages Songtext
von Yes

A beacon is shining
'Cross the cosmos, it's guiding
Igniting the pathway for us
Through the winter of our lives
A faithful polestar arises
Within every heart
The courage to advance
Passed our plight at this stage is
The light of the ages

When troubles lay me low
As fierce winds blow
Turn my gaze beyond
To ride the inbound stream
There grace and mercy shine
And fear is a dream
Sorrow's a dream


When darkness holds me down
And trials abound
Lift my gaze within
I'll heed the primal sound
Exposing the grand scheme
I can see it's a dream
Sorrow's a dream

And a beacon is shining
'Cross the cosmos, it's guiding
Igniting the pathway for us
Through the winter of our lives
A faithful polestar arises
Within every heart
The courage to advance
Passed our plight at this stage is
The light of the ages

I will follow the all knowing
Ever glowing light
Through my soul's long dark night

When darkness holds me down
And trials abound
Lift my gaze within
I'll heed the primal sound
Exposing the grand scheme
I can see it's a dream


And a beacon is shining
'Cross the cosmos, it's guiding
Igniting the pathway for us
Through the winter of our lives
A faithful polestar arises
Within every mind
The power to transcend
To perceive passed thought cages
The light of the ages
The light of the ages
I will follow
The light of the ages
Through my soul's long dark night
