Trip the Light: The Invitation

To Trip the Light Fantastic:
To dance nimbly or lightly 
To move in a pattern to musical accompaniment.

If all the days that come to pass

Are behind these walls

I’ll be left at the end of things

In a world kept small

Travel far from what I know

I’ll be swept away

I need to know

I can be lost and not afraid

We’re gonna trip the light

We’re gonna break the night

And we’ll see with new eyes

When we trip the light

Remember we’re lost together

Remember we’re the same

We hold the burning rhythm in our hearts

We hold the flame

We’re gonna trip the light

We’re gonna break the night

And we’ll see with new eyes

When we trip the light

We’re gonna trip the light

We’re gonna break the night

And we’ll see with new eyes

When we trip the light

I’ll find my way home

On the Western wind

To a place that was once my world

Back from where I’ve been

And in the morning light I’ll remember

As the sun will rise

We are all the glowing embers

Of a distant fire

We’re gonna trip the light

We’re gonna break the night

And we’ll see with new eyes

When we trip the light

Come on and trip the light

We’re gonna break the night

And we’ll see with new eyes

We’re gonna trip the light

We’re gonna trip the light

We’re gonna break the night

And we’ll see with new eyes

When we trip the light

I must say, I LOVE this song.  The lyrics so eloquently articulate an incredibly unifying principal of true ethical or, dare I say, Christian living.  In a world filled with so much intolerance both at home and abroad, I delight in this invitation to not keep our world small and discover how much a like we truly are.  "We are all the glowing embers of a distant fire."  And that fire is known by many names and imagined in many forms.  The human race is a tremendous creation yet, remarkably, it goes to great lengths in refusing to acknowledge and celebrate its divine diversity!

Thank you for sharing, Matt Harding!
