Lyrics:
[Intro: Robert Bly] We are leaving our time now We are leaving our time now There are places where time moves more slowly than here We honor all four directions East, West, North, South… [Verse 1] In the fatherlight I lost my compass and I lost my sight At the fireside I sat too close and then I burned my eyes And was it temperament That kept us from saying all the things we meant? [Chorus] Fatherlight Fatherlight Fatherlight [Verse 2] Hear the city call With faster highways and with alcohol Can we synchronize With time so different, generation-wise? And was it temperament That kept us from saying all the things we meant? In the countryside (so many things now I cannot tell you) I lost my country when I left your side (the broken bones of a shattered world view) Now you think I’m gone (and in the ER lights I saw you) But take my hand and let me prove you wrong… (reaching up like you thought you might break through) [Chorus] Fatherlight Fatherlight [Outro: Robert Bly] And we also honor the fifth direction The vertical one Which is in us Today, here
