about

"Prophet" is sixth track on my album "Stardust," to be released in July 2025.

lyrics

One is born to give
But never to take, and never to live
One is born to love
But never to speak, or be spoken of

Look into the sky
See that satellite glowing?
The enemy threat
Is steadily growing

A land without dreams,
Men made as machines,
Women as hollow figurines

You won't last long—
Your spirit cannot go on
Oh, where have they gone?

Those ancient wisdoms
Never mind—I will bring them
I'll bring sacred sorrows
Unto a new tomorrow

Dawn of the first day
I've tried to tell them,
But they won't hear—
They're running away

Am I a monster,
A hideous beast?
Is my mind the
Ghost at the feast?

I'll bring ancient wisdoms
To the soul of this kingdom
I'll bring sacred sorrows
And I know
Every man will follow.

I am Princess Rosaline
The sound of your guitar floated
Through the castle green

With color and light,
And all that life could be
I wondered, "Did she write
The tune for me?

"How can it be?
I can't understand
Just who is she,
And from what magic land?

What waterfalls
Of crystal has she seen?
And which great god
Or healer has she been?"

Come along
Yeah, come along
Come along
Come along, come along
Yeah, come along
Come along
Come along

The first time, I heard it
As an ocean or a dream
To stop and stare,
Then wade on in there,
Without knowing what it means

When, like a bolt from the heavens,
It hit me
I couldn't believe my eyes
Had doubled in size—
Else, I'd grown a second sight
Now I'm learning to fight

Come along
Come along
Take my hand
Now, be strong
Come along
Come along
