Seer Prophet Son
Music & Words by Shimshai
Beloved giver of life
You are the soul surrounds the
Sight & sound, all borders of mind
You are the space beyond all time
A child of the wonderful One has begun
In this journey on, soul revelation
When the way is the only one
Awaken child of the seeing stone
You are the master of flesh and bone
& the power within your hand
Is the same as created man
I stand on this rising dawn
As if I am the only one
Oh blazing and brilliant come
You are the mystic of Avalon
Call to the vision of the Ancients
Wise to the wonders yet unknown
Arise to the simple and the sacred
As the pattern of your life unfolds
& All that you may become
My Seer my Prophet my Son
Time on its turning hinge
Folding back on its self again
Arrives on a wave of light
& Forward on its eternal flight
For the secret the sage has sought to exist
In this timelessness
Suspended by life’s embrace
In surrender to the will of grace
For we, when we have risen above
& Awakened to the fullness of
The power at life’s command
& the force running through our hands
Call to the vision of the Ancients
Wise to the wonders yet unknown
Arise to the simple and the sacred
As the pattern of your life unfolds
& All that you may become
My Seer my Prophet my Son
This is another song that was originally just sort of fragments of poetry that eventually found themselves wrapped in chords and melody. Born around sunrise at the Glastonbury Tor in England (hence the Avalon reference), the song would take years to fully develop in the background and be ready to share. Although the 'Seer Prophet Son' really has nothing to do with me directly, there was still something so deep and personal about the song that it took a while to properly unfold. It's really about the potential in all of us individually, and collectively finding and remembering our place in humanity before we lose track of who we are, where we've come from and where we may be headed.
