Father of Eternal Light (From the Poetic-Sermon Rap Series)
Father of/Eternal Light/Make me/Right/
You said/I would always/Be bright/
Whether/It was/Day/Or/Night/
But I seemed/To go wrong/When I sung/Another/Song/
You gave me/Freedom/Of will/Not/Free/Will/
Because we can/Never change/Who we/Really are/
We will/Always be/A/Superstar/
And I will be/Of/Good/Cheer/
Because father/Of eternal light/Is always/Here/
As you wander/Aimlessly/Through your/Physical life/
With so much/Anger/And/So much/Strife/
Deep inside/You know/That this isn’t/The/Real/Show/
That earth/Is not your home/As you roam/And roam/
And even/In a crowd/You still/Feel alone/
You may be big/And/Strong/
But that won’t/Last/Long/
You maybe successful/And/Rich/
But there is/Always//Another/Hitch/
There is/A different/Story/
With a/Greater/Glory/
Out away/From the dark/Illusions/
You experience/A far/Different/Conclusion/
Peace/And Joy/With/No/Annoy/
It is/A far/Happier/Toy/
Father of/Eternal Light/Make me/Right/
You said/I would always/Be bright/
Whether/It was/Day/Or/Night/
But I seemed/To go wrong/When I sung/Another/Song/
You gave me/Freedom/Of will/Not/Free/Will/
Because we can/Never change/Who we/Really are/
We will/Always be/A/Superstar/
And I will be/Of good/Cheer/
Because father/Of eternal light/Is always/Here/
The wheel of/Birth/And death/Has left us/Feeling/Bereft/
You pray/And pray/To find/A/Better/Way/
And occasionally/Get/A little/Sun-ray/
But it/Never/Lasts/Long/
It just/Goes/Away/
And then/Comes back/Another/Day/
But it is/Still/The same/Old/Play/
I want/To find/Life’s/Answers/
Before/I am old/And gray/
And than/Just pass/Away/
Still/On the/Sway/
In/Complete/Disarray/
And nothing/New/To say/
Father of/Eternal Light/Make me/Right/
You said/I would always/Be bright/
Whether/It was/Day/Or/Night/
But I seemed/To go wrong/When I sung/Another/Song/
You gave me/Freedom/Of will/Not/Free/Will/
Because we can/Never change/Who we/Really are/
We will/Always be/A/Superstar/
And I will be/Of good/Cheer/
Because father/Of eternal light/Is always/Here/
So you/Want to/Wake up/And finally/Go home/
Because no matter/What you do/You feel/So/So alone/
But/The good news/Is/
No matter how far/And far/You roam/
And no matter/How much/You/Cry/And/Moan/
To make/You right/And remember/Your/Light/
You ask your/Loving/Inner/Guidance/
For a/Different sight/And he will always/Give it/To you/
Because he is/Kind/And/Polite/
He represents/Your right mind/That works on/A different/Time/
It is not/The physical world/Of conflict/And/Change/
But far beyond/Where you have/Another range/And although/It may seem/Strange/
It is not/The world of duality/Which is like/The/Wild/Wild/West/
But a/Oneness reality/Where you/Are always/Living/Your/Very/Best/
In our highest/Truth/We are/Brothers/The same one/And/Another/
And though/We have forgotten/And seemed/To turn/Rotten/
And some of us/Were forced/To pick/Cotton/
I say good bye/Dream illusion/
I will now accept/The true/Conclusion/
Father of/Eternal Light/Make me/Right/
You said/I would always/Be bright/
Whether/It was/Day/Or/Night/
But I seemed/To go wrong/When I sung/Another/Song/
You gave me/Freedom/Of will/Not/Free/Will/
Because we can/Never change/Who we/Really are/
We will/Always be/A/Superstar/
And I will be/Of good/Cheer/
Because father/Of eternal light/Is always/Here/
So now/I can say/We will/All awaken/From our Dreaming/Illusion/
And from our/Deep/Deep/Sleep/
With/No more pain/And/No more/Weep/
But father/Of eternal light/Is always/Here/
So I will be/Of good cheer/
Because/There really is/Never anything/To/Fear/
And with that/I will say goodbye/Or simply…Adieu//
