Let There Be More Light Lyrics

Far far far away way
people heard him say say
I will find a way way
there will come a day day
something will be done

Then at last the mighty ship
descending on a point of flame
made contact with the human race at Mildenhall
Now now now is the time time
time to be be be aware

Carter's Father saw it there
And knew the Rhull revealed to him
The living soul of Hereword, the Wake



Oh my, something in my eye, eye
something in the sky
waiting there for me

The outer lock rolled slowly back
the servicemen where heard to cry
For there revealed in flowing robes
Was Lucy in the Sky

Oh oh did you ever know?
No, no never will they, Ill say!
Summoning in his cosmic powers
and glowing slightly from his toes
The psychic emanations-fly

wrong lyrics as usual:

Far far far away way people heard him say say I will find a way way there will come a day day something will be done

Then at last the mighty ship descending on a point of flame made contact with the human race at Mildenhall (UK historical place) Now now now is the time time time to be be be aware

Carter's Father saw it there And knew the Rhull revealed to him The living soul of Hereword, the Wake (UK literary/historical refernces)

Oh my, something in my eye, eye something in the sky waiting there for me

The outer lock rolled slowly back the servicemen where heard to cry For there revealed in flowing robes Was Lucy in the Sky

Oh oh did you ever know? No, no never will they, Ill say! Summoning in his cosmic powers and glowing slightly from his toes The psychic emanations-fly

Seashellz's re-post has the right lyrics.

For the meaning of this song, all I can do is speculate. It is an amazing song, off one of of Floyd's most amazing and underrated albums. The song seems to be about aliens (or possibly angels, or simply the combined concept) bringing revalation to the human race. The "Him" referred to may be a form of alien, angel, or perhaps saviour (I hesitate to say "God" because of its Christian implications). I do agree that "t'was Lucy in the sky" has LSD connotations. With no specualtion, it is clear that it is about revalation brought to humans. Whether by drugs, aliens, or divines, as usually Floyd has left it up to the listener to decide.

@Unsound Interesting that they specifically reference "Lucy in the Sky". I assume they got it from Sgt. P, since this album came out one year later than ...Lonely Hearts Club Band. Or was Lucy in the Sky a thing before it appeared in the '67 Beatles song? I know about the initials and I also know that Lennon maintained that the Beatles song was inspired by his son's nursery-school artwork.

In this PF song's context the reference seems luciferian (as in "light-bearer").

Someone please explain to me why Demau Senae hasn't been banned from submitting lyrics yet. This kid has the worst hearing of anyone I've ever known, and yet he's submitted thousands of completely wrong lyrics to the site.

Absolutely love this piece, from the guitar at the beginning down to the very last second. I would indeed agree it goes with the theory that, even in a non-scientific manner, most hallucinogens/psychotics were accepted to put you more in-tune with the universe. Granted, I've never taken them, and have very little, if any, intent on ever doing so, but from observing others' experiences with them, and the general notion of increased vividity and "connection", I think it's fairly reasonable that this song would be something along those lines.

P.S. Thanks to seashellz for the corrected lyrics; however, only one thing that was right in the first lyrics posting is that the "...servicemen were heard to sigh", not "cry".

Personne a rien écrit sur cette merveille la??? c la premiere toune que j'ai entendu de pink floyd et depuis ce temps je voue un culte inconsidérable a ce groupe!!! VIVE PINK FLOYD

I don't understand why nobody comments this fabulous song! This is the first song of Pink Floyd that I heard and since then, Pink Floyd is my favourite groups of all time. LONG LIVE PINK FLOYD!!

I agree 100%, a terribly fantastic song.

The repeating line is the exact same tune from the "Intersteller Overdrive". Doot doot, doo doo doo... doot doot, doo doo doo...

I I think it’s about Thanksgiving… Before, during and After

Lucy in the sky is an undeniable reference to LSD, so don't say it's not about drugs. I think this song is suggesting that there is something otherworldly about LSD, and that it is meant to help the human race advance. (Definitely believable if you've ever taken it.) Terence McKenna (an author) thought that psychedelics were meant to tune the brain in with cosmic communication channels between different alien races.

@hungrybear Yes. Spot on. Luciferian.
