"Look over yonder... the sun is arising..." In ancient Christian Apostolic churches the parishioners faced east as it was written in the old testament that if one faced east he would meet with God. In this case he references the sun or more likely the "son" . "When he looks down...on all his children...." is of course a reference to God. Peace harmony, love all the qualities that distinguish Christian theology. "Better get ready...gonna see the light" is a common theme referenced in the new testament and the book of revelations of the second coming in a future age of completion of mankind meeting with divinity. The better get ready part points to one to a warning to be aware always and to be in consciousness of what you do in your life as wihtin any moment you can meet your maker.
"Crystal blue persuasion" always ends each segment almost like a seal or and Amen. James was speaking of blue Shekhinah light which is old testament terminology meaning divine presence of God.
Sweet cherry wine was another song by the Shondells referencing communion or perhaps communion with God.
It is entirely possible that spirit can work through anyone even without their knowledge to communicate a greater good or change needed to the betterment of mankind.

Crystal Blue Persuasion is referring to the color of lightning blue/crystal blue. Lightning blue is the most powerful color for our auras and our well being. By meditating with lightning blue, we can open our chakras and open our minds. That's what this song is about. It has a lot to do with the Age of Aquarius, the astrological age we are currently in. People are starting to question what they have been told and are opening their minds. People often wonder, what else is there to life, and why am I here and what's going to happen to me. This song is telling us not to worry, but trust yourselves and you will find the answers to any questions you may have. If you search for it and you want to discover it, you will.

Tommy James had a talent for recording songs that he and The Shondells were just jamming to...Hanky Panky.....Crimson And Clover.....I wouldn't be surprised if Crystal Blue Persuasion were the same....just a jam session.

He wrote it for Jehovah s Witnesses who speak these words when they come to your door. Think about it and listen the next time they come around.
