For eons we have walked the heavy road of winter’s night, Believing love was only for a single chosen sight. We built our little kingdoms and we locked the heavy door, Protecting what was ours upon a separated shore. But now the cosmic springtime brings a vibrant, golden ray, Dissolving all the borders that have kept the world at bay. The mating love that bound us to a single, fleeting breath, Is growing into something that has conquered fear and death. We see the spark of God within the beggar and the king, And learn the great eternal song the galaxies all sing. The shadows fade, the animal retreats, The ancient drum of self-survival slows its beat. A brilliant sun is dawning in the mind, A gentle warmth awakening mankind. Oh, let the highest fire burn so bright, Transform the sorrow into radiant light! For every soul we meet is heaven’s art, The universe is beating in our heart! To love our neighbor is the greatest science we can learn, To give our very substance, asking nothing in return. We realize the pain we felt was perfectly designed, To soften up the hardened earth and elevate the mind. No enemy exists upon this spinning sphere of blue, Just brothers and just sisters who are finding something new. The rustling of the forest and the surging of the sea, Are whispers of a loving mind that flows through you and me. When every single action is an instrument of grace, We find the Holy Spirit in the most forgotten face. Oh, let the highest fire burn so bright, Transform the sorrow into radiant light! For every soul we meet is heaven’s art, The universe is beating in our heart! The principle of taking is a chapter left behind, As universal sympathy is waking in the mind. A monumental symphony of giving takes control, A pure and perfect resonance that satisfies the soul. To understand the darkness is to know it leads to light, To see that everything is good, and everything is right. The shadow was a teacher, but the lesson now is done, And millions of evolving hearts are turning to the sun. The true and finished human is a beacon in the night, An instrument of God’s own love, an everlasting light! The shadows fade, the animal retreats, The ancient drum of self-survival slows its beat. A brilliant sun is shining in the mind, The perfect peace awakening mankind! Oh, let the highest fire burn so bright, Transform the sorrow into radiant light! For every soul we meet is heaven’s art, The universe is beating in our heart! The highest fire... Universal love.
