New Year's Prayer Lyrics

Oooooo
Fall in light, fall in light, fall in light
Fall in light...

Feel no shame for what you are [x 4]
Feel no shame for what you were
As the marrow in your bones
Fall in light...

Feel no shame for what you are
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel it as a waterfall
Fall in light
Ooo, fall in light, fall in light, fall in light
Ooo, fall in light, fall in light, fall in light
Grow in light

Stand absolved
Behind your electric chair
Dance
Stand absolved
Behind your electric chair
Dancing...
Past the sound within the sound
Past the voice within the voice
Oh, ah, ah, ah...

Leave your office; run past your funeral
Leave your home -- car; leave your pulpit
Join us in the streets where we
Join us in the streets where we
Don't belong
Don't belong
Here under the stars...
Throwing light...
Oooooo...
Fall

Oooooo
Fall in light, fall in light, fall in light
Oooooo
Fall in light, fall in light, fall in light
Grow in light

nickel4yourthoughts you are not alone my ears decieved me also I thought he was singing fall in love , fall in love . I think I really wanted to hear that, but fall in light is equally nice.

I think this is one of my favourite songs on "Sketches(...)", and I'm rather shocked there haven't been more comments.

It's rocky, funky with that riff he plays.

The drumming is PERFECTION. That gets everyone I've introduced it to into the song. I love this song.

He gets everything right in this song, and I Love it

Beautiful, trance-like thing. Odd comment, but I love the way he draws out the second "dancing"...it's faint and very haunting.

for me, this opitomizes jeff's identity. very eastern influenced, especially after "you and the stars throwing light", the note he reaches is very Nusrat Fatesh influenced. beautiful song.

The morning star fell in the light of pride. We fall in the light of knowledge. We walk the razor's edge. Our feet bleed. If we fall to the left or the right we fall into the light 'dancing'. Enjoy, because we may not ever know why but knowing that may help us grow and that might be enough.

I always thought he was saying love as well. Light is love in a lot of religions or spiritual practices. So maybe not too far off?

Oh my god I hate you all. You just ruined this song for me forever because I've been singing it wrong. I would have sworn that the words were fall in line. Dammit I feel violated. ;Þ

I know right! That's what I though too! Now I'm pissed!

This song reminds me of that story- the Pied Piper of Hameln.

It's not "As You now you are in your heart", but "in your blood"...

"As an arrow in your bow"
