During these seasonal feasts, the veil between the worlds was thought to be lifted, the obstacles removed, the laws of space suspended, and communion with one's ancestors became a distinct possibility. They celebrated freedom from addiction to the purely visible, in the age-old premise of a life beyond this one, in which our ancestors are no further away than the next world. And that world itself being rather close by.

Lyrics

And as you move between the worlds
Great sorrow will I feel
As first and last they journey same
Through nature's passageway

Chorus:
You're welcome, soul, to be with me
I'll happy be your guide
Teach to me what's been forgot
The old ways, by and by.

I've begged the wise to lead me to
The places you have been
But glimpses in these waking dreams
Is all they'll let me see.

And as you move between the worlds
Such sorrow makes us reel (real)
As first and last they journey same
Through nature's passageway.
