The Prophet

歌詞

A man cried, “Where do we look? What do we say? How do we find it? A woman needs love, “My body needs love, my soul needs love, how do I find it?” We all need love, gotta have love. Prophet! Prophet! I dream of a prophet man from a far distant land... Ali! They say that lord will call to you to follow him, though it’s hard to do. Believe, believe! We gotta believe! Within your heart is the secret of life, with joy and sorrow, pleasure and strife. Love is all of these things. I dream of a prophet man from a far distant land... Ali! A priestess said, “Tell us a prayer!” A lawyer said, “Is law fair?” Astronomers cried of galaxies and time. A poet said, “Is there duty to find?” To speak of god, speak of reason, Speak about death, speak about freedom! Gotta have truth, gotta have wisdom, give us your word to give to our children! I dream of a prophet man from a far distant land... Ali! The clock struck twelve at the church of water. Their voices beckoned to the prophet’s call. You give up yourself when you truly give; possessions shouldn’t rule the life you live. Work with love and love your work; and idle man is a stranger on earth. Blame yourself for wrong deeds done; the innocent can be the guilty ones. Freedom disguises itself in chains; happiness sometimes hides in pain. Children are made and are born to you; but they’re not slaves that belong to you. God doesn’t listen to the words you pray; he hears what your heart has got to say. I dream of a prophet man from a far distant land... Ali!
