Opening Day
Embracing the Essence: Gene Clark's Opening Day Revelations
Lyrics
Struck by the sight of waking dreams
Struck by the impact of vivid dreams.
At hand our time's before our eyes
The present moment is right in front of us.
Called out to look beyond what seemed
Encouraged to see beyond apparent reality.
To hear the woe an angel cry
To listen to the sorrow expressed by an angel.
In the distance the sun rose
The sun is rising in the distance.
Near we heard a clock chime
We are close enough to hear a clock chime.
But the breeze murmured not yet
The breeze hasn't spoken yet, indicating time is fleeting.
For there still is just a very little time
There is only a little time left.
Our faces drenched by pouring rain
Our faces are wet from heavy rain.
We laughed as closely we had clung
We laughed closely, united in our experience.
Our senses keen from lack of pain
Our senses are heightened due to the absence of pain.
Our souls the streams of songs we sung
Our souls are like flowing streams of songs we've sung.
Now the shadings around us
The surroundings are nuanced and evaluated beyond appearance.
Judged yet not by our sight
Judgment is not solely based on what we see.
In the light of our questing
In the light of our exploration, truth becomes clearer.
The truth came through more clearly into sight
Truth becomes more apparent in our quest.
Around the eyes of disbelief
Skepticism surrounds us.
Intoxicated by their doubt
Intoxicated by doubt, causing disbelief.
Moreover offered no relief
No relief is offered; there's fear in seeking answers.
Afraid to look for finding out
Afraid to discover the truth.
Yet some danced and some sang songs
Despite doubts, some are dancing and singing.
And some live for today
Living in the present moment.
And around us the windows
Windows of wonder are open around us.
Of wonder were unshuttered on our way
On our journey, possibilities are not restricted.
