	Story Behind the Song A spiritual awakening in the middle of the desert of Kuwait; the lyrics described the path to spiritual enlightment and the bliss of knowing the truth--Finally!! The song was written in Kuwait a week prior to Sept 11, 2001. It took only a couple minutes to write, many takes before this simple version. Perhaps I thought, just like in life, that too much "clutter" would ruin it. One acoustic guitar. I did add some echo effects on the chorus. Lyrics Consider me grateful on this blessed day The sandy warm texture has shown me the way On a path I was traveling since before I was here In a place without time we all reappear up here And days in the life of a murderous mind Are not of concern to the greatest divine What can I do to help you believe? Go ahead and ask, you will recieve I want you to follow me: CHORUS: On a journey of light without Chains and demands Life is only a flash in the miracle plan And you bring yourself down, when you doubt there must be A God in his Heaven and angels that sing Of love and of peace, and of all these: Virtual Things Now lend me your hand and we'll walk for awhile Away from the money, cars, business, and style To a place I call home, a place you can breathe When the world seems chaotic and it won't fill your needs Just Breathe.... We've only just met and you're the love of my life I know deep inside you'll soon be my wife At the end of this road, A light will sure glow When you see it just act, and that light will then show That what you never knew, you knew all along And I know the journey that your soul was on You were on.... REPEAT CHORUS X2
