without a break this continued into Communion with the Sun
Ra, climbing the horizon Rising up the mountain, lighting up the valley below Ra, giver without measure Beacon of compassion, shining through the spectrum of life Day is born, night is gone One in all, all is one Communion with the sun

Ra, giver without measure
Beacon of compassion, shining through the spectrum of life
Day is born, night is gone
One in all, all is one
Communion with the sun

Eye of the sphinx now winks at you
What is he thinking? Wish that I knew
Wonder of wisdom
