Ray of Light Lyrics:
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
Faster than the speeding light she's flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else shall be there
Through the endless years
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light she's flying
Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying
Ray of Light: Background
Lyrics for “Ray of Light” were written by Madonna, William Orbit, Clive Muldoon, Dave Curtis and Christine Leach. “Ray of Light” was the second single from Madonna’s 1998 album Ray of Light. The song was based on “Sepheryn” by Clive Muldoon and Dave Curtis. Producer William Orbit had originally re-arranged the song for singer Christine Leach before giving the song to Madonna in 1998. Madonna’s album Ray of Light took the Material Girl’s dance pop into a more electronic and techno direction. Nowhere is that more evident than on the single “Ray of Light.”
