The Light That Has Lighted The World Lyrics
I've heard how some people, have said
that I've changed
That I'm not what I was
How it really is a shame
The thoughts in their heads,
Manifest on their brow
Like bad scars from ill feelings
they themselves arouse
So hateful of anyone that is happy
or 'free'
They live all their lives,
without looking to see
The light that has lighted the world
It's funny how people, just won't
accept change
As if nature itself - they'd prefer
re-arranged
So hard to move on
When you're down in a hole
Where there's so little chance,
to experience soul
I'm greatful to anyone,
that is happy or 'free'
for giving me hope
while I'm looking to see
The light that has lighted the world
that I've changed
That I'm not what I was
How it really is a shame
The thoughts in their heads,
Manifest on their brow
Like bad scars from ill feelings
they themselves arouse
So hateful of anyone that is happy
or 'free'
They live all their lives,
without looking to see
The light that has lighted the world
accept change
As if nature itself - they'd prefer
re-arranged
So hard to move on
When you're down in a hole
Where there's so little chance,
to experience soul
that is happy or 'free'
for giving me hope
while I'm looking to see

I've heard how some people, have said that I've changed That I'm not what I was How it really is a shame The thoughts in their heads, Manifest on their brow Like bad scars from ill feelings they themselves arouse So hateful of anyone that is happy or 'free' [George harrison is enlightened that material goods do not bring true happiness. While he is "free" from this material world, people around him do not understand his actions that reflect this freedom. Yet because he is happy and "free", people who are envious turn hateful for what they do not have (true happiness).
They live all their lives, without looking to see The light that has lighted the world [Not sure what light refers to. God maybe?]
