lyrics

Sophia

Well I’ve been waiting for the angels
you’ve been here all along
following my orders
letting me be wrong
from within these holy ruins
springs the essence of the Song

By your light, by your light, Sophia

The rules that we invented
have worn right through
that old temple curtain
has torn itself in two
Sophia Aya Sophia
igniting all that’s true

By your light, by your light, Sophia

You’re the wisdom in all suffering, frailty and change
While the hawks up in the ruins high
and the eagle owl with sunset eyes say
Anybody trying to get away?
Anybody caught behind the veil?

The heat of my resistance
has burned itself out
my wellsprings of suspicion
have choked on their own doubt
and there’s a silver stream cascading
and a scent of roses all about

By your light, by your light, Sophia
