When I was born I had no [G] head
My eye was single and my body was filled [C] with light
And the light that was, was the light [G] that saw by
And the light that I saw [Em] by [G] was the light that [C] I was
One light, light that is one though the lamps be many
One light, light that is [G] one though the lamps be [C] many
And many's the time that crossed the [G] river
And I saw no tall man and I needed no [C] ferryman to cross
And I enjoyed the world aright for the sea itself [G] flowed
And wore my [Em] wealth and crown [C] and one day walking towards the [G] river
I saw a tall man with an angry face
And many's the time that passed his [G] toll gate
And paid no [Em] silver and paid no [G] fee
Rather I did hide my sheep [Em] and goats under the bags of [C] oatmeal
And cold I was, no [G] crown did I [C] wear
But if you're walking down the street why don't you look down to [G] the basement
For sitting very quietly there [Em] is a man who has no [C] head
His eye is single and his whole body also is [G] filled with [C] light
One light, light that is one though the lamps be many
One light, light that is [G] one though the lamps be [C] many
And as he sits there [C] so he will walk all [G] among you
And the streets are his and all the people and even the temples and the halls
[C]
And many's the time that he walks to [G] the river
And seeing the tall man and [C] seeing the ferryman
The light within him leaps [G] to greet them
For he sees that the faces [Em] are none but [C] his own
One light, light that is one [G] though the lamps [C] be many
One light, light that is one though the lamps be many
[G] You never enjoy the [C] world all right till the sea itself [G] floweth
In your veins till you are cloven
With the [Em] heavens and crowned with [C] stars
You never enjoy the world all right [G] till the sea itself floweth
In your [C] veins till you are cloven
[G] With the heavens and crowned [C] with stars
My eye was single and my body was filled [C] with light
And the light that was, was the light [G] that saw by
And the light that I saw [Em] by [G] was the light that [C] I was
One light, light that is one though the lamps be many
One light, light that is [G] one though the lamps be [C] many
And many's the time that crossed the [G] river
And I saw no tall man and I needed no [C] ferryman to cross
And I enjoyed the world aright for the sea itself [G] flowed
And wore my [Em] wealth and crown [C] and one day walking towards the [G] river
I saw a tall man with an angry face
And many's the time that passed his [G] toll gate
And paid no [Em] silver and paid no [G] fee
Rather I did hide my sheep [Em] and goats under the bags of [C] oatmeal

One light, light that is one [G] though the lamps [C] be many
One light, light that is one though the lamps be many
[G] You never enjoy the [C] world all right till the sea itself [G] floweth
In your veins till you are cloven
With the [Em] heavens and crowned with [C] stars
You never enjoy the world all right [G] till the sea itself floweth
In your [C] veins till you are cloven
[G] With the heavens and crowned [C] with stars
