Story of the Shepherd by Bobby Callender Lyrics
John, this is the story of the shepherd
The story of thy avatar
A shepherd blissfully playing on his wooden flute
Appeared to me
Not being unlike a vision onto my known mind's eye
And I thought how very peaceful is he
Then there also appeared onto me
Dancing and whirling about the shepherd
Very pretty young groupies
And the sun radiated his glowing prue(?) above them
The shepherd continued playing his wooden flute
But now accompanied by the balladeers of light
Who joined him in his merry tune
And now throughout the vast cosmic meadow there was peace
I felt very touched by his gentleness and sincerity
And an overwhelming feeling of happiness and harmony developed within me
Total serenity descended upon me
And I felt transcended from my human body
I spent that whole day with him and far into the evening time
He told many stories and painted vivid portraits(?)
Within my vivid garden of recollections
And as I listened to his every word and thought
Mother nature herself is nurturing from the unlimited
Amount of energy that emanated from within him
Whilst he spoke
And I felt not in like being within in a cosmic embryo
And everywhere I beheld the genesis of life
And everywhere there was the light
And everywhere there was the spirit of love
When I reopened my eyes
I felt warm and secure
Within the soft caressing arms
Of the loving sunrise
The story of thy avatar
A shepherd blissfully playing on his wooden flute
Appeared to me
Not being unlike a vision onto my known mind's eye
And I thought how very peaceful is he
Then there also appeared onto me
Dancing and whirling about the shepherd
Very pretty young groupies
And the sun radiated his glowing prue(?) above them
The shepherd continued playing his wooden flute
But now accompanied by the balladeers of light
Who joined him in his merry tune
And now throughout the vast cosmic meadow there was peace
I felt very touched by his gentleness and sincerity
And an overwhelming feeling of happiness and harmony developed within me
Total serenity descended upon me
And I felt transcended from my human body
I spent that whole day with him and far into the evening time
He told many stories and painted vivid portraits(?)
Within my vivid garden of recollections
And as I listened to his every word and thought
Mother nature herself is nurturing from the unlimited
Amount of energy that emanated from within him
Whilst he spoke
And I felt not in like being within in a cosmic embryo
And everywhere I beheld the genesis of life
And everywhere there was the light
And everywhere there was the spirit of love
When I reopened my eyes
I felt warm and secure
Within the soft caressing arms
Of the loving sunrise
