the prophet

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.
