Story Behind The Song
Since becoming a Buddhist 25 years ago I noticed how the ups and downs of my mood affects everything around me, and that I can change that mood in the moment and thereby change how others and everything around me experiences me.
Song Description
A change of mind and attitude can then change the environment in which we're in - as it says in the Buddhist teachings,
"Hell is the Land of Tranquil Light".

Lyrics
On a cold and dreary night
I was hungry for some light
But there was none in sight
So I went walking
In my search to find the day anywhere
Something happened very strange in the air
A change
Where I'm walkin' now it's bright
Walkin' the land of eternal light
Like I've won some kind of fight
Walkin' the land of eternal light
Dark clouds have filled the sky
Hidden creatures scurry by
Like any minute I could die
But I keep walking
Knowing I will find
The sunlight that appears in the night
When I fight and win the battle
Between the dark and light
In my mind
Now the sun breaks through the night
Walkin' the land of eternal light
And everything's alright, alright, alright
Walkin' the land of eternal light
Where I'm walkin' now it's bright
Walkin' the land of eternal light
Magnificent creatures to my left and to my right
Walkin' the land of eternal light
And everything's alright alright alright
Walkin' the land of eternal light
Yes everything's alright alright alright
Walkin' the land of eternal light
Of eternal light (walkin' the land)
Of eternal light (walkin' the land)
Of eternal light (walkin' the land)
