The Prophet

The Prophet

(Anderson/Squire)

Long ago a tall man
told a tale of yesterday,
Searching for the truth to life
and not for just a way.

Finding pleasure from this house
his ears, they did obey;
In his life a moment's pleasure,
never to delay.

He was lost and in his trust
he found a new meaning;
Seeing the things in diff'rent lights
his life was redeemed.

Words of peace will fill his mind
and change his way of life;
Peaceful meetings with his heart
have made him more alive.

Meeting wise old women on the cliffs
of life itself;
Asking not for pers'nal meaning,
more for just himself.

Soon we'll be as he proclaimed
in a new way of living;
Take the things you need in life
but remember the giving.

Prophesy within your mind
and you will work it out;
Prophesy that some will die
but only those who doubt.

Then you'll never worry
as somtimes you used to do;
Just remember when you're gone
there's someone after you, you.

YES
