Lyrics
1) I am a little man pretending I know the land
Willing to give advice, but will not accept so nice
Going from here to there distracted by sights and scares
But then, in the middle, I remember how He cares
2) How His visage makes all problems go away
Though there are many who may say my sanity has been betrayed
But simple truths are taught with bowed heads and hands that fold
So, every night at grace, I pray not to bring Him shame
Chorus:
The Avatar has come, He comes to bring us His love
He calls us home no matter where we are
My, my, my, He gives us sight
Sight, sight, sight for the blind
Oh, oh, oh, He gives us hope
Hope, hope, hope with His smile
Middle 8:
Oh Avatar, You're never far
What keeps us where we are - so far
Is our hearts are lost like a ship of fools
With a tablecloth for a chart
Repeat 2nd verse and add:
In Meher Baba's Name, accepting the sun and rain
Repeat Chorus
