Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let there be light
Let there be joy
Let there be love
And understanding
Let there be peace
Throughout the land.
In harmony
Let's build a better world
No suffering
And in times of darkness
Just reach out
'Cause there is a promise
It won't be denied
[Chorus: x6]
This is truly paradise
Being here in this celestial garden
With all the ones you love
Where nothing dies or ever grows old
And to be bathed in light
That cast no shadow
Yes
This is the Kingdom within
Still you know
Sometimes I miss seeing and feeling
The Spirits Dancing in the Flesh
Can't you see them all around
They're all around us
Spirits, spirits dancing all around us
Spirits
Dancing in the Flesh, the Spirits
Spirits
Dancing in the Flesh, the Spirits
Spirits
Dancing in the Flesh, the Spirits
Spirits
Dancing in the Flesh, the Spirits
All over, all over, all over
