Let There Be More Light (Waters)

N.C.
Far, far, far, far away, way
People heard him say, say
"I will find a way, way
There will come a day, day
Something will be done"

Then at last the mighty ship descending on a point of flame

Made contact with the human race at Mildenhall

N.C.
Now, now, now is the time, time
Time to be, be, be aware

Carter's father saw it there and knew the Rhull revealed to him

    Cm             Dm           A  Ab
The living soul of Hereward the Wake

N.C.
Oh my, something in my eye, eye
Something in the sky, sky
Waiting there for me

    Cm
The outer lock rolled slowly back

The servicemen were heard to sigh

    Cm                Dm            A                 Ab
For there revealed in flowing robes was Lucy in the sky

N.C.
Oh, oh, did you ever?
No, no, never will they
I'll say!

Cm
Summoning his cosmic powers

    Fm
And glowing slightly from his toes

    Cm         Dm      A    Ab
His psychic emanations flowed.
