Babaji Lyrics

I've been listening to this song for years & years & when I first didn't know about the meaning of the word "Babaji", I thought they were singing to the inspiration itself. If you think about it, they could be talking to an asbtract concept that not even them can totally understand. Does this make sance to anyone else?

@Daddysfun It sure makes sense to me. I am a total non-believer, sorry, no talent for supernatural 'explanations' of the ways of the world. But I understand psychological phenomena like 'inspiration', and I've always interpreted the song in this way. The meaning of a 'babaji' as a 'holy man in Indian culture/religion' does nothing for me.

Even if Roger 'must have meant it that way', I don't care.
