lyrics

More Light© Bill Metts © 2023
CHORUS
More light, less darkness
on the paths that I now Tread.
More joy, less sorrow, when my spirit has flown,
and this tired old body lay dead.
More giving less taking, More faith than fear
More trust than doubt O God
More light less darkness
on the paths where my feet have trod.

I do not know if when I pass, that I’ll be able to look back
on this life that I’m living here on earth.
To see the fruits from the seeds that I have sown
here and there since the day of my Birth.
Or ripples from the stones that I have thrown
without thinking into the eternal sea.
But if I could, I know exactly what I would
hope and pray to see

CHORUS

Standing at the gate or walking through a tunnel
toward a light on that fateful day.
Or meeting some great winged spiritual being
to guide me on my way.
Or floating along on some ethereal wind carrying
me to who the hell knows where.
But when my life flashes before my eyes
there is but one thing I want to see there.

CHORUS
…Repeat last line

about

Bill Metts Cape Coral, Florida

I have been playing guitar and singing for nearly fifty years now. I Started with American Folk and Blues tunes and finger- style guitar. Had a run in with a Classic Rock band for 6 years or so and I sure was glad when that ended. I spent 15 years playing in nursing homes doing standards from the 30’s and 40’s. Now I mostly write. You will see a bit of all the above in my songs. I hope you like. ... more
