Sailor Man song by James Braha



Lost in the middle of the sea              The sailor man came to me
Praying for a taste of  truth                 Devoured by the search since youth
Thirty years along the road               Til Sailor man broke the code
A life of desire and fear                     Disappears in the final frontier
Tossed like a feather in the breeze     Shouting my demands and pleas
Sailor man heard this cry                   Listen son to my reply
If you really want to know what I see
Pierce the illusion of a me
Time and space never last                 There cannot be a future or a past
                    CHORUS
    The sweetness of this humble man
    Melts your heart like no one can
    Points the way, today’s the Day
    That’s the plan of the Sailor man
    And that is why I love this guy
                                  Sailor Bob the Sailor man
Tried every truth that came along        Every damn path turned wrong                               

Everywhere a big lofty goal                And no one ever left feeling whole 

But Sailor man knew what was real   Just look below what you feel

Underneath every thought and every sense   Indescribable space immense
Thought my search would never end             Til I met an ocean going friend
One lovely night he said to me                       Words I didn’t know I could see
Just have a look or a peak                              We already are what we seek
Underneath the many is the one                     Like fire creates the sun
                                        REPEAT CHORUS
When thoughts lose their power of belief         Then comes peace and relief
Events aren’t ever what they seem                   Welcome the imaginary dream
Just like clouds hide the sun                             The many overshadows the one
It’s all a great big play                                      Sailor man came to say
Don’t put the horse before the cart                   There never was an end or a start
Never was a time we were not                         The mind plays a game it forgot
Just like Strawberry fields                                 Nothing in this world is real
Like rainbows in the sky we see                       There never was a you or a me
                                                 REPEAT CHORUS

ジェームズ・ブラハの歌がうまいのには驚きました。
ボブは電動車椅子みたいなものに乗っているんですね。どの程度自立歩行できるのでしょうか。
