I came
across this wonderful song again this weekend, and I wanted to share the lyrics
with you.
I haven’t
heard this song in a long while, but I’ve always loved it. It’s “On A Clear Day”, the title song to the
Broadway play, “On A Clear Day You Can See Forever”. Perhaps you recall the movie of the same
name starring Barbara Streisand.
The play
involved clairvoyance and past and future lives, hence, the references to ESP
and such in the introduction.
Putting
those specific references aside, just read the lyrics as a tribute poem to your
Feminine Glory and Greatness.
Every now
and then, in the hectic pace of our busy days, we need a reminder to stop and
reflect on the actual power that we either take for granted or are out of touch
with. That spark of the Divine within
us.
When I
first heard this song again this weekend, after so many years, I teared up as I
let the words sink in. The message
within the song is very powerful and moving.
At least it was for me. I hope
it is as meaningful for you as well.
ON A CLEAR DAY
(On a Clear Day You Can See Forever)
Could anyone among us
have an inkling or a
clue,
what magic feats of
wizardry
and voodoo you can
do?
And who would ever
guess
what powers you
possess?
And who could have
the sense
to change his views
and start to mind his
E.S.P’s
and Q’s?
For who would ever
dream
of hearing phones
before they ring,
or ordering the earth
to send you up a
little spring?
Or finding you’ve
been crowned
the queen of lost and
found?
And who would not be
stunned
to see you prove
there’s more to us
than surgeons
can remove?
So much more than we
ever knew,
so much more were we
born to do.
Should you draw back
the curtain,
this I am certain,
you’ll be impressed
with you.
On a clear day
rise and look around
you,
and you’ll see
who you are.
On a clear day
how it will astound
you
that the glow of your
being
outshines every star.
You feel part of
every mountain,
sea and shore;
you can hear from far
and near
a world you’ve never
heard before.
And on a clear day,
on that clear day,
you can see forever
and ever more.
You feel part of
every mountain,
sea and shore;
you can hear from far
and near
a world you’ve never heard before.
And on a clear day,
on that clear day,
you can see forever
and ever more.
