Divine Inspiration Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the tears and the pain and the fears and the rain.
From the dark to the light you were once shining bright.

Put your hand in my hand.
Put your hand in my hand.
Let me show you the way

Put your hand in my hand.
Let me show you the way
And you will understand.
I will show you the way.

Put your hand in my hand
Let me show you the way
And you will understand
I will show you the way
I will show you the way

From the tears and the pain and the fears and the rain.
From the dark to the light you were once shining bright.

Put your hand in my hand,
Put your hand in my hand
Let me show you the way.

Put your hand in my hand
Let me show you the way
And you will understand
I will show you the way.

From the tears and the pain and the fears and the rain.
I'll take you.
From the dark to the light you were once shining bright.
I'll take you

From the tears and the pain and the fears and the rain.
I'll take you.
From the dark to the light you were once shining bright.
I'll take you





Put your hand in my hand let me show you the way
And you will understand I will show you the way.

Just turned 63 , lived through the finest musical decades, 60's,
70's, 80's and 90's. Thanks to John Peel I started to get into house
and trance in the mid 90's and on new years eve1999 I went to meet a
mate of mine to get some acid.. He couldn't get any but asked me if I'd
be interested in a pill instead. After Old Lang Syne I was walking
home and happened to be walking past a nightclub and could hear the beat
through the walls so I went inside. It was the start of 3 years of
pills and being the first on the dance floor and the last off and this
amazing track was part of that journey. To say I feel privileged is an
understatement...

Who's still here in 2024 revisiting those glorious days remembering this song and so many others..A glowstick in each hand, bright lights all around.. And nothing but you.. Good Friends, some of whom aren't here with us any longer.. And that chill ascending from your spine giving you goosebumps across your arms every time you heard this.. TIME FLIES..I loved it at 15 and still love it today at 36
