[Verse 1]
A dream—pregnant with portent
A wall with gates of bronze
A being standing sentry
Androgynous and strong
[Verse 2]
I ask if I may pass through
Having stumbled all this way
The angel steps aside
The mighty gate swings wide
[Verse 3]
A libation for the journey
Jar of blood poured on the soil
You don't need it any more
Once you've slipped that mortal coil
[Chorus]
O sun by day, o moon by night
Light my way so I get this right
And if that sun and moon don't shine
Heaven guide these feet of mine
To glory
[Verse 4]
The road goes rolling onward
Over hills and over plains
Through the light and through the shadow
Through longing and through pain
[Verse 5]
Pain brings understanding
Your mistakes will set you free
To sink into the spirit
To clear your eyes to see
[Chorus]
O sun by day, o moon by night
Light my way so I get this right
And if that sun and moon don't shine
Heaven guide these feet of mine
To glory
O sun by day, o moon by night
Light my way so I get this right
And if that sun and moon don't shine
Heaven guide these feet of mine
To glory
Glory
Glory
