[Dialogue] Song of the Soul

[W. J.]

It's a Chris Williamson song on her album, 'The Changer and the Changed', a 
classic in the women's music tradition from the 70's. Released on Olivia Records 
(which was THE Lesbian independent music distributor), it sold a half million 
copies. Don't know whether Chris is the author or whether it's "traditional". As 
far as I can remember, it's not an Order song.

Thank you Nancy. I love this song too. Don't remember it from Order singing. 
Appreciate the words. Saved me some transcription time!

Dear Janice,

I thought we sang this in the Order?  My experience  of community singing gets 
mixed up between the Order and Songaia, but I  thought Fred, Stan Carol and I 
brought it to Songaia.   Here are the  words.  I am adding the first part that 
you hear with the link from  yesterday, it was not included when I found the 
verses and chorus on line this morning.

Open my eyes that I may see,
Glimpses of truth thou hast for me.
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine.

Love of my life I am crying
I am not dying, I am dancing
Dancing along in the madness
There is no sadness
Only the song of the soul

cho: And we'll sing this song
     Why don't you sing along
     Then we can sing for a long, long time
     Why don't you sing this song
     Then we can sing along
     Then we can sing for a long, long time

What do you do for a living
Are you forgiving, giving shelter
Follow your heart, love will find you
Truth will unbind you
Seek out a song of the soul

Come to your life like a warrior
Nothing will bore yer, you can be happy
Let in the light, it will heal you
And you can feel you
Sing out a song of the soul

Love of my life I am crying
I am not dying, I am dancing
Dancing along in the madness
There is no sadness
Only the song of the soul
