I've heard tales of mystical land
that no one understands
or can explain
Where things you thought only lived inside dreams
Somehow slipped through the seams
from some other plane
Where once was nothing,
something unfolds An ancient legend whose story's untold
They fade with the sun and appear with the moon
Nature puts you in tune Just when you thought all the magic had gone
from the world
A secret we're not meant to see
Begins to unfurl tonight Illumination
I saw the light Now some say it's rational or they dismiss
Because they haven't seen That gives them relief
But some say something goes on after this
And because I have seen
They give me belief
I've seen their fires and the old lanterns
glow Maybe lost souls just longing for home
With open mind and adventurous heart
Enchantment can start to take hold
Just when you thought all the magic had gone from the world
The colors rise up to the sky They dance and they twirl
Tonight Illumination
I saw the light
before me I saw a starry go
tell me
Don't you miss this too?
The stars look on in jealousy As I look at possibilities
If we didn't have some mystery What a boring old world this would be
Just when you thought all the magic had gone from the world
The gift of enlightenment shines like the brightest pearl
Tonight Illumination
I saw the light
