- yup
Einstein’s breakthrough was that light curved some how as it travelled through gravity or something like that .. isn’t that where the break throughs come from

lyrics

Saffire
Music Douglas Eldon McLean
Lyrics© – Donna Lee Brock & Douglas McLean
July 2014, GEB Publishing/ SOCAN ©

If you hold me up to the sun
Let the light coming pouring through
It will burn your eyes like a fire in the night
‘Till all your dreams come true
‘Till all your dreams come true
But if you hold me up to the sun
Let the light coming poring through
It will burn your eyes like a fire in the night
‘Till all your dreams come true
‘Till all your dreams come true

I’m just a sapphire in the rough
I never know how people take me
I want to shimmer
Want to shine
‘Till all the shadows are removed
‘Till all the shadows are removed

Diamonds sparkle
Rubies shine
Starlight dances round the moon
All the glitter in this life
Fades away for ever soon
It fades away forever soon

I’m gonna take a look around here
I’m gonna try to figure out
What my senses should be showing
Now I got the light worked out
