Captive of the Light
Music and Lyrics by James McNair Ramsey
You made it through you final test though the night was hard and long
Your eyes are purist poetry and your lips as sweet as song
You fought across the raging sea to find your way back home
And now your life if the brightest light in the victory of love
So much you’ve had to struggle through, the pain you’ve had to face
The cards were stacked against the chance of your ever giving chase
But patiently you bore your trials and each bar you overcame
A lighthouse shone on the distant sea as you set sail in the rain
And I love you dear, yet I can’t deny my destiny
It’s far beyond my power to conceive
Yet it won’t be long till you’re standing right here next to me
Willingly a captive of the light
Your art stands as a testament to the freedom of your soul
No wind could ever turn you back and no torrent break your hull
Within the Tao of everything my respect for you has grown
And every song that I’ll ever sing shall be to let you know
That I love you dear, yet I can’t deny my destiny
It’s far beyond my power to conceive
Yet it won’t be long till you’re standing right here next to me
Willingly a captive of the light
Captive of the light
Captive of the light
Captive of the light
Captive of the light
