John aside, my money is on "you were the light and the way that they only read about." this is based on what i'm hearing and the knowledge that "the truth, the light, and the way" is a popular mis-reading of john and is often used by preachy types (annoyingly so).
good point..

id been led in the direction of wave because i think of light in a scientific and not spiritual way...which led me to wave (sound travelling as a wave)

but this is a spiritually tinged song

so youre probably correct...

sorry though, i didnt mean to annoy you :rolls eyes:
