Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Remember when you were young, You shone like the sun. Shine on you crazy diamond. Now there's a look in your eyes, Like black holes in the sky. Shine on you crazy diamond. You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, Blown on the target, for faraway laughter, Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine! You reached for the secret too soon, You cried for the moon. Shine on you crazy diamond. Threatened by shadows at night, And exposed in the light, Shine on you crazy diamond. Well you wore out your welcome With random precision Rode on the steel breeze. Come on you raver, you seer of visions, Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine! Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" - hedi SufiMystic Sunday, September 25, 2005 9:21 AM [sufiMystic] (unknown) If everything were in truth as it appears to be, the Prophet, endowed as he was with a vision so penetrating, so illumined and illuminating, would never have cried,‘Lord, show me things as they are.’ ‘Thou showest a thing as fair, and in reality it is ugly; Thou showest a thing as ugly, and in reality it is lovely. Therefore do Thou show us every thing just as it is, that we may not fall into the snare and that we may not go astray perpetually. ’ Elahi Ghomshei for GoodClick here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
