Joshua Kadison Illuminated Soul Lyrics

Last night I dreamed I died upon the water
And the waves that break on the shores of Avalon
I dreamed a priestess cried upon the water
And her voice rang out through the edges of oblivion
And everything was brighter than anything could be
But somehow I felt part of something much bigger than me
As the burnished waves were crashing
To the rhythm of a chant I heard inside

No one to judge no one, no one
No one to blame no one, no one
In the end sweet friend there's really nothin' to forgive
Nothin', nothin'
No one to judge no one, no one
No one to blame no one, no one
Strangers in a very strange land
All of us are doin' the best we can
And in the mornin' when I woke up sunlight all aglow
I could see that anything is everything
And everything sometimes seems so out of control
And anyone is everyone
And we're all one
Illuminated soul
Illuminated soul

She bathed my skin in oils of fragrant flowers
In an ancient language she began to pray
She rocked me in the emerald tide for hours And she asked the sea to take my shell away
And I floated down the distance
And I floated through the ages
Through all of my resistance
And all my childish rages
As the burnished waves kept crashin'
To the rhythm of a chant I heard inside

No one to judge no one, no one
No one to blame no one, no one
In the end sweet friend there's really nothin' to forgive
Nothin', nothin'
No one to judge no one, no one
No one to blame no one, no one
Strangers in a very strange land
All of us a doin' the best we can
And in the mornin' when I woke up sunlight all aglow
I could see that anything is everything
And everything sometimes seems so out of control
And anyone is everyone and we're all one
Illuminated soul
And anything is everything
And everything sometimes seems so out of control
And anyone is everyone
And we're all one
Illuminated soul
Illuminated soul

Last night I dreamed I died upon the water
In the waves that break on the shores of Avalon.
