24. Seeing Through the Veil

      1.
      Seeing in the morning, seeing seeds of kindness,
      Seeing in the noontide through the shadowy veil;
      Stopping all the judging, no more quest for knowing,
      We shall come rejoicing, none who try can fail.

      Refrain:
      Seeing through the veil, seeing through the veil,
      We shall come rejoicing. None who try can fail.
      Seeing through the veil, seeing through the veil,
      We shall come rejoicing. None who try can fail.

      2.
      Seeing in the sunshine, seeing in the shadows,
      Seeing in the nighttime through the starry veil,
      Finally eyes do open to the light within.
      We shall come rejoicing, none who try can fail.

      Refrain:
      Seeing through the veil, seeing through the veil,
      We shall come rejoicing. None who try can fail.
      Seeing through the veil, seeing through the veil,
      We shall come rejoicing. None who try can fail.

      3.
      Living in the dark, living in the dusk,
      living in the sunset, living in the night,
      stumbling in the shadows, bumbling through the fog,
      Shouldn’t we be looking always for the light?

      Refrain:
      Looking for the light, looking for the light,
      Shouldn’t we be looking always for the light?
      Looking for the light, looking for the light,
      Shouldn’t we be looking always for the light?
