Let There Be Light

Lyrics by Robert Hunter

 

Under the elm
Inside the night
The story began
Let there be light

Let there be reason
Let there be right
Let there be seasons
Let there be sight

Let there be light
Let there be rain
Let there be happiness
Let there be pain

Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light

Let there be vision
Souls to redeem
Hearts to be broken
Let there be dream

Let there be beauty
And ugliness too
Truth, love and duty
The sparkle of dew

Let there be light
Let there be rain
Let there be happiness
Let there be pain

Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light

Let there be violence
Fang and the claw
Let there be silence
And let there be law

Let there be sunset
Let there be dawn
Let there be moonbeams
To shine down upon

Let there be light
Let there be rain
Let there be happiness
Let there be pain

Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light

Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light

Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light
Let there be light
