Stuart Davis - Universe Communion lyrics

There was a star that was hidden in space - an undiscovered gem Until it's denizens decided they had chosen The Dagon to give the gift to them As with the shocking revelations, Of a primitive people our knowledge was redefined Enlightened and wise, the simple African tribe Has educated the modern minds Our potential was choked under the scientific yoke Afraid that if we move and open our eyes, we'll have to realize (chorus) If a message from a distant sun can reach us There is a magic that is waiting and is willing to teach us How to suture every soul into one concentric whole Earth will find a perfect union In the universe communion In this arena of Western thought, the spirit is in a vise We are driven to seek but it's a futile pursuit With the means that won't suffice It is a science with a limited scope Where the heart and head collide Resigned to the laws of only tangible proof To which the truth does not abide We stifle and smother the mystic wonder Is our arrogance a deafening fear of what we'll have to hear? (chorus) There's a tendency to think that it's our practical senses That get these questions solved But those are tenuous tools and the more we employ them, the slower We evolve Denied by our suppression the deeper lesson (chorus)
