This night out on the sea alone no earthly place to hide I can feel the weight of the waters below we are pebbles neath the moon-tugged tide Then I find my fellow travellers glimmers in the wind-fell night And I follow them like beacons we are rivers of light, rivers of light I thought I saw a vision written bold across the sky Saw the holy human history was the truth of it and not the lie, not the lie Our future too came blazing through could blind my squinted eye Only a poet or a prophet reads those stars and knows the way to cry, way to cry Refine that silver liquid distill it to a dream and behold the soul remaining there how it shivers like a sun-borne stream And sing with me now to this thundering sea we're out too deep to fight Do you hear the voices joining us we are rivers of light, rivers of light
