The Prophet Lyrics

Long ago a tall man told a tale of yesterday,
Searching for the truth to life and not for just the way.
Finding pleasure from the sounds 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 things in diff'rent lights his life was redeeming.

Words of peace would 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 more for first 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.

What a great song! Just remember when you're gone, there's someone after you. We're reminded to live a life of selflessness so that those we leave behind may remember the Light.
