[Verse 1]
Beloved giver of life
You are the soul
Surrounds the sight and sound
All borders of mind
You are the space beyond all time (–ime)
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
And 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
[Chorus]
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
And all that you may become
My seer, my prophet, my son
[Verse 2]
Now time on its turning hinge
And folding back on its self again
Arrives on a wave of light
And 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
And wakened to the fullness of
The power at life’s command
And the force running through our hands
[Chorus]
To 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
And all that you may become
My seer, my prophet, my son
[Break]
[Verse 3]
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
And 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
[Chorus]
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
And all that you may become
My seer, my prophet, my son
Seer Prophet Son was written by Shimshai.
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 [took] years to fully develop in the background and be ready to share....
