Holy Man (Taylor Hawkins Version) Lyrics

With the ego of a lamb
The holy man
Come the swagger out of the dust
You know he can
Turn the corner all alone
He meets you there
Holy man will meet you there

The one you love is everywhere
He is everywhere and you can follow

Summer burns and winter blows
The holy man
Speaks of fears to overcome
He knows you can
When you lose the innocence
He's standing there
Holy man will meet you there

The one you love is everywhere
He is everywhere and you can follow

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This Song is one of the best ever on one of the greatest albums ever and Taylor Hawkins was the right person for the job. the first time I heard it I thought it was Dennis Wilson singing. I saw a documentry about Wilson a year or so ago and Taylor said he was nervous at first because he didn't want to "p!ss on someones Picasso"... he definately hasn't done that - He's added the final touches and NOW it's a Picasso.
