Once There Was No Sun
Embracing Light: Jake Blount's Musical Revelation
Lyrics
Once there was no sun
Describing a time when there was no sun
Lordy, once there was no sun
Reiterating the absence of the sun in the past
Oh, once there was no sun
Emphasizing the previous lack of sunlight
I heard the angels singin'
Referencing hearing angels singing
Do lord go down
Questioning if the Lord descended
Do lord go down,
Repetition of the question regarding the Lord's descent
Do lord go down
Continued inquiry about the Lord's descent
Lordy I heard the angels singin'
Reiteration of hearing angels singing
Oh, once there was no moon
Recalling a time when there was no moon
Lordy once there was no moon
Re-emphasizing the absence of the moon in the past
Once there was no moon
Highlighting the previous lack of moonlight
I heard the angels singin'
Referencing hearing angels singing
Do lord go down
Questioning if the Lord descended
Do lord go down,
Repetition of the question regarding the Lord's descent
Do lord go down
Continued inquiry about the Lord's descent
I hear the angels singin'
Reiteration of hearing angels singing
Oh, once there was no light
Reflecting on a time when there was no light
Once there was no light
Reiterating the absence of light in the past
Once there was no light
Emphasizing the previous lack of illumination
I hear the angels singin'
Referencing hearing angels singing
Do lord go down
Questioning if the Lord descended
Do lord go down,
Repetition of the question regarding the Lord's descent
Do lord go down
Continued inquiry about the Lord's descent
I hear the angels singing
Reiteration of hearing angels singing
Oh, this dark old world
Referring to the current state as a dark world
This dark old world
Reiteration of the darkness of the world
This dark old world
Emphasizing the prevailing darkness
I hear the angels singin'
Referencing hearing angels singing
Do lord go down,
Questioning if the Lord descended
Do lord go down,
Repetition of the question regarding the Lord's descent
Do lord go down,
Continued inquiry about the Lord's descent
I hear the angels singing
Reiteration of hearing angels singing
Oh I am so glad
Expressing happiness or relief
I am so glad
Reiteration of feeling glad
I am so glad
Emphasizing the sense of joy or contentment
I hear the angels singin'
Referencing hearing angels singing
Do lord go down,
Questioning if the Lord descended
Do lord go down,
Repetition of the question regarding the Lord's descent
Do lord go down,
Continued inquiry about the Lord's descent
I heard the angels singing
Reiteration of hearing angels singing
