lyrics

Like a Life-Giving Sun- Hafiz/Ladinsky/Levin © 2013

You could be, you could be- a great horseman

Help to free, help to free us all from the state that we're in…

What if you and prayer become sweet lovers?

What if you and love become one?

It’s naïve, it’s naïve to believe we’re not in battle.

And I grieve, as the brave fall like cattle.

Fall in pain, gone insane
- the brave are falling like rain.

You could be, you could be
– a victorious horseman.

And carry your heart through this world.

Help to free yourself and this world

Carry your heart through this world like a life giving sun.

What if you and love became sweet lovers?

What if you and love became one?

(So below -as above -Sweet love )

Don’t sit grieving.

Go where you’re needed

Carry your heart through this world like a life giving sun.

You could be, you could be, a great horseman.

Carry your heart through this world.

Help to free yourself and this world

Carry your heart through this world like a life giving sun.

What if you and love became one?
