lyrics

The Seer
Words and Music by David Shepherd Grossman

Brown man on the ground
Limbs flashing all around
Tribe gathers near the sound
To hear the song on the seer
Lighting wings in his screams
Seer man projects his dream
Love it powers everything
>From hope pity to doomsday

Power lines criss across the sky
Phones on people passing by
Deep in space the signal flies
Some they live and others die
Seer man he hears their cry
Needs to share his alibi
Others pass through on the sly
Trying to destroy him

Faith it travels at a speed
Love has power beyond greed
The more you loose the more you need
To keep your faith alive

The walls go up
The walls come down
The walls go up
And the walls come down

Get down on the ground and pray
To the song of the seer
He's bound to raise the dead someday
Raise the dead someday
If you get down on the ground and pray
To the song of the seer
He's bound to raise the dead someday
Raise the dead someday
If you get down
