Wide Open Light
Journey into Timeless Light: Ben Harper's Wide Open Revelation
Lyrics
I know what it's like to be half dead
I have experienced a state of being partially lifeless.
And the other half gone out of your head
The other part of me has lost touch with reality.
Time is only mercy
Time is a source of mercy or relief.
Time, give me time
Request for more time to understand or cope.
It's in everything
Time is a pervasive force in everything we do.
We all must leave behind
We must leave certain things behind as we progress.
If tomorrow starts today
If the future begins now, we should act promptly.
We'd best be on our way
It's essential to embark on our journey immediately.
There's no time to waste
No time should be wasted in our pursuits.
Only you'll restore my faith
Only you have the power to restore my faith.
Mistakes I am destined to repeat 'til I get them right
Recognition of repeated mistakes in one's destiny.
Walk with me into the wide open light
Invitation to join in a journey towards enlightenment.
Walk with me into the wide open light
Reiteration of the invitation into the wide open light.
The wide open light
Emphasis on the vast and illuminating nature of the light.
You looked at me and my skin jumped from my bones
A powerful connection where physical reactions occur.
I knew I would never be alone
Assurance of never being abandoned.
Bring me your days dust
Request for sharing life's experiences or burdens.
And if you're staying here, you'll be staying with me, I trust
Trust in the commitment to stay together.
If tomorrow starts today
Reiteration of the importance of immediate action.
We'd best be on our way
The urgency of beginning the journey promptly.
There's no time to waste
A reminder that time is precious and should not be wasted.
Only you'll restore my faith
Restoration of faith is possible only through a specific person.
Mistakes I'm destined to repeat 'til I get them right
Acknowledgment of an ongoing cycle of mistakes.
Walk with me into the wide open light
Repeated call to join in a journey towards enlightenment.
Walk with me into the wide open light
Reiteration of the invitation into the wide open light.
The wide open light
Emphasis on the vast and illuminating nature of the light.
Silence always picks up where it left off
Highlighting the persistent nature of silence.
Silence always picks up where it left off
Reiteration of the enduring quality of silence.
If tomorrow starts today
Reiteration of the importance of immediate action.
We'd best be on our way
The urgency of beginning the journey promptly.
There's no time to waste
A reminder that time is precious and should not be wasted.
Only you'll restore my faith
Restoration of faith is possible only through a specific person.
Mistakes I am destined to repeat 'til I get them right
Acknowledgment of an ongoing cycle of mistakes.
Walk with me into the wide open light
Repeated call to join in a journey towards enlightenment.
Walk with me into the wide open light
Reiteration of the invitation into the wide open light.
The wide open light
Emphasis on the vast and illuminating nature of the light.
The wide open light
Further emphasis on the vast and illuminating nature of the light.
Wide open
Final affirmation of the wide-open nature of the journey.
