Lyrics:
My body was thirsty
I went looking for water
On that dry desert road
I found you

You took me to meet
Your friend and her daughter
The moment was pure
And beautiful, too

We sat in a circle
You offered me tea
I politely said thank you
No milk for me
Then we played the guitar
And sang so sweetly
In the radiant light
We were free
In the radiant light

Was it all just a daydream?
I asked in my mind
As I sat on the airplane
Leaving illusions behind me
In my hand was your number
I just couldn't believe
They were all my lucky numbers
318 333

You're inside my heart
Brighter than the sun
Even in the night
Will there come a day
When we will be one
In the radiant light

If you've got something to say
My love, say it to me
Please don't go hiding
We can still find a way
To live our lives
In the radiant light

You're inside my heart
Brighter than the sun
Even in the night
Will there come a day
When we will be one
In the radiant light

My body was thirsty
I went looking for water
On that dry desert road
I found you

Radiant Light
