Trevor Hall - Kabir II lyrics
[Trevor Hall - Kabir II lyrics]
Is it one or two he and she and you
Does it make it three
Tell me how can we be free
Family tree has got it's roots in the sky
And a broken bird can fly
Turned around and the river drains the sea
Eventually a poor man is crowned king
Mute man sings all lost in the lion’s mane
Repeating holy names
Guns fire flowers and alligators will speak
You better check your roof it’s got a leak
Your strength is weak all of them say
Don’t you fall asleep once you are awake
Oh for heaven’s sake
A fire burns the ocean and
Statues are in motion
Can anyone understand what I say, 'cause
Turned around the arrow strikes the hunter
Strikes him down, down, down, down, down
Turned around the arrow strikes the hunter
Strikes him down, down, down, down, down
Kabir says what you understand is who you are
If you cling to the world
Then your death ain’t far the magic is false
The magician is true it’s clear to the wise
Is it coming clear to you
That all things will fade just
Like leaves fall away on those October days
Blooming once again in May
The Swan shall go alone
Yes, the Swan shall go alone
Looking on the world as a fair
The Swan shall go alone
So take a holy name and your suffering will
Seem like a hoof print in clay
That’s what Kabir say a fire burns the ocean
Statues are in motion
Can anyone understand what I say
Turned around the arrow strikes the hunter
Strikes him down, down, down, down, down
Turned around the arrow strikes the hunter
Strikes him down, down, down, down, down
Does it make it three
Tell me how can we be free
Family tree has got it's roots in the sky
And a broken bird can fly
Turned around and the river drains the sea
Eventually a poor man is crowned king
Mute man sings all lost in the lion’s mane
Repeating holy names
Guns fire flowers and alligators will speak
You better check your roof it’s got a leak
Your strength is weak all of them say
Don’t you fall asleep once you are awake
Oh for heaven’s sake
A fire burns the ocean and
Statues are in motion
Can anyone understand what I say, 'cause
Turned around the arrow strikes the hunter
Strikes him down, down, down, down, down
Turned around the arrow strikes the hunter
Strikes him down, down, down, down, down
Kabir says what you understand is who you are
If you cling to the world
Then your death ain’t far the magic is false
The magician is true it’s clear to the wise
Is it coming clear to you
That all things will fade just
Like leaves fall away on those October days
Blooming once again in May
The Swan shall go alone
Yes, the Swan shall go alone
Looking on the world as a fair
The Swan shall go alone
So take a holy name and your suffering will
Seem like a hoof print in clay
That’s what Kabir say a fire burns the ocean
Statues are in motion
Can anyone understand what I say
Turned around the arrow strikes the hunter
Strikes him down, down, down, down, down
Turned around the arrow strikes the hunter
Strikes him down, down, down, down, down
