SHINING HEAVEN, SHINING BRIGHT
To the Sun Goddess AMATERASU OMIKAMI
from the oldest Japanese religion Shinto
Bringing self-confidence and self- manifestation. *
Shining bright,
Why should you
Hide yourself
In the cave,
letting dark
ride the wave?
Shining bright,
Go outside
And reveal
To the world
Your Truth
And self-worth.
Shining bright,
Your fight
With insults
And false right,
Will be gone
With the dawn.
Shining bright,
You awake
Sleeping seeds
For new life
To bring peace,
Growth and might.
Shining bright,
You may fill
All dark caves
With the light
And this conquest
Will be final.

When her brother, the storm god Susanowo, treated her badly, she hid in the cave of heaven and closed the entrance with an enormous stone. This made the world dark, and evil spirits came out of their hiding places.
In despair, a conference of the gods decided to trick Amaterasu into coming out by having a party near the cave. They put a big mirror in front of the cave and beautiful jewels on a tree. Uzume, the goddess of laughter, began a dance accompanied by loud music.
Hearing the music and laughter, Amaterasu was so curious that she took a look outside to find out what was going on. She was so fascinated by her own the art of weaving with the loom and taught the people how to cultivate wheat and silkworms. brilliant reflection in the mirror that she came out of the cave. Finally, the light covered and colored the world.
