Lyrics

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



You could be, you could be a Wild Horseman
Help to free, help to free us all from the state that we're in…
What if you and love become sweet lovers?
What if you and prayer become one?
It’s naïve to believe we’re not in battle.

And I grieve, as the brave are falling like cattle.
Fall in pain, gone insane
Oh, the brave are falling like rain.
You could be, you could be a victorious horseman.
And carry your heart through this world. 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 sweet lovers?
What if you and love became one?
