The Prophet |
| A man cried |
| «Where do we look? |
| Where do we search? |
| How do we find it?» |
| A woman cried love |
| «My body needs love, my soul needs love, how do I find it?» |
| We all need love, gotta have love |
| Prophet! |
| Prophet! |
| He said that love will call to you |
| So 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 the 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?» |
| 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 the prophet man from a far distant land |
| Ali! |
| The clock struck twelve on the church odd wall |
| 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 the prophet man from a far distant land |
| Ali! |
| I dream of the prophet man from a far distant land |
