about

This song tells the story of a man, a caretaker, who walked upon the earth many thousands of years ago.  He could see things nobody else could see.

lyrics

A long time ago, was a man
Oh so old, so wise
A teller of stories
Stories of creation
Stories of life
 He spoke of mountains moving
Of shape shifting earthquakes
He spoke of creatures and of spirits
And ancient sacred lakes
 He could see things nobody else could see
 He walked with animals
As tall as trees
He spoke of constellations
And inland seas
 He was a wise man
 He carried fire in his hand
Across this vast land
He knew when to light it up
And when to put it out
He was a wise man
Such a wise man.
