Morning
Morning – Ra (East)
From the dark, toward the light.
Intro
The dark thins at the edges.
I greet the sun.
Verse 1 – Original
Hail unto Thee who art Ra in Thy rising,
even unto Thee who art Ra in Thy strength,
who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark
at the Uprising of the Sun.
Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow,
and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm.
Hail unto thee from the Abodes of Night.
(Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Night.)
Chorus
From the dark, toward the light.
(From the dark, toward the light.)
Verse 2 – Interpretation
I greet the light rising in the East.
You are the radiance at dawn,
the strength that lifts the sky.
You cross the heavens in your solar boat.
Wisdom rides at the front, bright and clear.
The fierce joy of awakening steers from the back.
I greet You from the houses of night —
from the dark I have walked through to reach this morning.
The dark releases.
I turn my face to the light.
Chorus
From the dark, toward the light.
(From the dark, toward the light.)
Outro
I step forward in this new day.
