The Avatar Has Come |
Lyrics1) I am a little man pretending I know the landWilling to give advice, but will not accept so nice Going from here to there distracted by sights and scares But then, in the middle, I remember how He cares 2) How His visage makes all problems go away Though there are many who may say my sanity has been betrayed But simple truths are taught with bowed heads and hands that fold So, every night at grace, I pray not to bring Him shame Chorus: The Avatar has come, He comes to bring us His love He calls us home no matter where we are My, my, my, He gives us sight Sight, sight, sight for the blind Oh, oh, oh, He gives us hope Hope, hope, hope with His smile Middle 8: Oh Avatar, You're never far What keeps us where we are - so far Is our hearts are lost like a ship of fools With a tablecloth for a chart Repeat 2nd verse and add: In Meher Baba's Name, accepting the sun and rain Repeat Chorus |
