When Jonas Saw The Light

Drew Gonsalves

[Verse 1]
(One, Two, Three, Four)
When Jonas saw the light did he take fright?
Did he recoil when it seemed to spoil his mood?
When Jonas met that dawn, did he curse the sun that shone
Upon that gloom which he consumed like it was food?

Did Jonas regret the years spent in that vale of tears
Which he would not let himself leave behind?
And did Jonas shut his ears from the singing of the spheres
Or did it soothe his overused and aching mind?

High above the town
What did he see when he looked down?
At the edge of space
Did he look down to see he had a place?
And of the faces rushing by
As he scaled the summit of the sky
Of those rushing past
Did one linger as the last?

[Chorus]
When Jonas saw the light
Saw the light
Saw the light
All around him
When Jonas saw the light
Saw the light
Saw the light
Shining
When Jonas saw the light
Saw the light
Saw the light
All around him
When Jonas saw the light
Saw the light
Saw the light
Shining

[Verse 2]
When Jonas met that day was he dismayed?
Did he bid it go away, wish it was night?
Or was Jonas overjoyed to be flung into that void?
Where all he knew vanished from view, slipped from his sight

Did Jonas regret at last how quick his days had passed?
Did he mourn to be torn from them so soon?
And did Jonas have a care from those now waiting there?
Gathered in his dim and quiet room

Up through the thinning air
Did his sight become more clear?
Did he alight upon that place
That could erase his pride and pain?
And in those starlit climes
Did he reflect on misspent times?
Did he wish he could undo his days
And live them all again?
