about

This song is about coming back to your spiritual path in your own way at your own time. There is no judgment from the “Ancient of Days” (Whoever that is for you)…

Just complete acceptance of who you are, wherever you are on your journey…

lyrics

Ancient of Days

Song #288 | 1/17/95 – 9/28/97 | CD: Thirsty For The Sky

The “Ancient of Days” still goes door to door
There’s not a salesman alive who can claim to know his product more
And he grins like a carny man as he opens his sack
And he looks at me funny as he says,
“You know you’re always welcome back!”

Refrain:
And oh you know, I never felt more alive
Than I feel right now, Than I feel right now…

The light through my window now is a higher vibration
It charges me up till I’m incandescent
And I’m opening up inside like a door or a fist
Or an eye or a flower, you know I open up so wide

Refrain:

The sun is alive and the earth is his daughter
And I am a sailor upon deep water
And the notes of this song, well, they lift to the heavens
And I know in my heart that there’s no such thing as “wrong”

Refrain:

Bridge: (X2)
Can you see through me now?
Can you hold me in your delicate hands?
Do you remember when I was young?
When I could barely stand?

Refrain:

The “Ancient of Days”, smiles like a child
He carries me home and he tucks me into bed
The house is so still tonight. I love it this way
I can hear all the sounds that I usually miss by day

Refrain:

about

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks!
