One Step Closer to the Light

Hello,

Songs and stories continue to reveal themselves as the memories and processing of my CPT experience stir and move and live. This song was one that I was introduced to almost twenty years ago, though it doesn't seem that long ago... "One Step Closer to the Light" was written by Shari Ulrich during her time spent in the trio of UHF with Bill Henderson (Chilliwack) and Roy Forbes (Bim).

"Sun was (rising) over sea, burning crimson and gold
Light of changing lights the sea, (filling) every heart is whole
Voices ring from every shore, for the legacy to end
Ancient enemies open doors, seeking justice not revenge

"One step closer to the light
A freedom burning through the night
One less soldier in battle
One less enemy in sight
One more border will fall
The people tearing down the walls
Bring us all one step closer to the light

"Hear the people of every land, offer liberty and choice
Heart by heart and hand to hand, raising up in common voice

"One step closer to the light
A freedom burning through the night
One less soldier in battle
One less enemy in sight
One more border will fall
The people tearing down the walls
Bring us all one step closer to the light"

Blessings,
Rob.
