Holy Man
Journey to Enlightenment: Unveiling Life's Secrets in 'Holy Man'
Lyrics
I was fallin into the black
Feeling engulfed by darkness or negativity
Goin under no turnin back
Proceeding further despite a lack of ability to turn back
I prayed for someone to lift the curse
Desiring relief from a curse or hardship
Show me the wonders of the universe
Seeking to witness the extraordinary aspects of life
I kept on stumblin in the dark
Continuously facing difficulties or obstacles
Searchin for somethin clear and stark
Seeking something clear and distinct amidst confusion
Had so much guilt to confess
Feeling burdened by guilt and the need to confess
I was lost in the wilderness
Being lost in a place of confusion or uncertainty
Came upon a gypsy
Encountering a gypsy along the journey
He called out from his caravan
Gypsy proposing a trade for guidance
Give me those rings off your fingers
Gypsy asking for possessions in exchange for guidance
And I'll take you to the holy man
Offering to lead to a holy man after receiving items
We travelled slowly over the plains
Traveling slowly across different landscapes
Beneath the hot sun and winter rains
Encountering varying weather conditions during the journey
From town to town and place to place
Moving from place to place without experiencing joy
I never saw a smile cross his face
Not witnessing happiness or positivity
We'd stop at twilight he'd make a fire
Stopping at dusk to create warmth and music
And play a mournful tune to my desire
Playing music that resonates with personal longing
I kept on askin how far we'd go
Continuously inquiring about the journey's destination
He said the stars above would let us know
Believing the stars will guide the journey's end
I had to have an answer
Desiring a definitive answer or direction
He said I'll tell you my plan
Gypsy proposing another trade for guidance
Give me all your gold and silver
Gypsy asking for different possessions for guidance
And I'll take you to the holy man
Offering guidance to the holy man after receiving new items
I wanna see the light
Desiring to experience enlightenment
Feel it touch my soul
Seeking a spiritual connection
Need to catch the fever
Yearning to embrace fervor and release control
And surrender control
Willingness to relinquish control to attain a state of surrender
I woke one morning the gypsy was gone
Awakening to find the gypsy has departed
Then I remembered the words to his song
Recollection of the gypsy's teachings
Like all creatures on land air and sea
Realization of the inherent freedom in all beings
We're born naked wild and free
Understanding the primal nature of existence
So keep the faith and follow your heart
Importance of maintaining faith and following one's instincts
The only secret is to play your part
Realizing that the key is to fulfill one's role in life
When your time is up
Hope for a fulfilled and meaningful life at the end
Hope you've done the best you can
Desire for a life well-lived before it ends
I lost everything I owned
Sacrifice of possessions for the sake of wisdom
To gain wisdom from the holy man
Gaining wisdom through the sacrifice made
