Lumiere
Graeme Allwright Lyrics
Lumière
GRAEME ALLWRIGHT
The children coming through the haze
Coming to the final phase of evolution
Man will see yes he will see. .
See what he was meant to be a revelation
We have to drink the final cup and
Then we're going to give it up and
Submit to our destiny
We're going to, work it out
Just the way it was planned to be...
Lumière, lumière sans fin
Dans ton cœur dans ta main
La nuit s'efface
Tout ce qu'il aime
Ce qu'il mène
Tout est à lui
Et tout lui-même dans l'espace
Un avec l'éternel
Comme sur terre comme au ciel
Vit dans son infinité
Vide ton esprit
Prends du recul
De la forme le nom
Toi-même annule
Et voilà que Dieu parait…

He became popular in the 1960s and 1970s as a French language interpreter of the songs of American and Canadian songwriters such as Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, and Pete Seeger, and remained active into his nineties.
Allwright traveled to France in the early 1950's and married Catherine Dasté. His son Christophe Allwright, is a French comedian.
In the early '60s, Allwright sang at a number of clubs in Paris, folk music that was very big in the 60s. He wrote his own music, and created the French language versions of many songs by US and Canadian artists like Tom Paxton ("Sacrée Bouteille" "Qu'as tu appris à l'école?"), Leonard Cohen ("Suzanne") and Pete Seeger ("Jusqu' à la ceinture").
His earlier music focused more on social protest songs. As he matured as an artist, his songs became more personal, and his choice in material included more funny songs, songs with a mystical bent ("Garder le Souvenir", "Lumière"), and songs about the complexities of relationships ("No Man's Land"). Some of his songs are in English, but the vast majority are in French.
He has travelled extensively, to the Himalayas, Réunion Island, and Madascar, among other places. He was strongly influenced by the Indian master and teacher Sri Aurobino, which is reflected in the mystical qualities of some of his songs.
In 2005, he wrote new lyrics for the French National Anthem, "La Marseillaise".
