Pioneering the atheist-flamenco genre with a look at religion versus free-love. (Len)

lyrics

I heard of a shepherd of souls
Who lived two thousand years ago
Oh the moon was so much younger then
And the earth moved so slow

And he said
“Come to me and I can heal you
Come to me you know I can set you free
Come to me and I can save your soul
When you give yourself to me
When you give yourself to me”

And his message was peace and love
Goodwill on earth towards all men
A harmony descending from heaven above
We’ll have a world without end

And he said
“Come to me and I can heal you
Come to me you know I can set you free
Come to me and I can save your soul
When you give yourself to me
When you give yourself to me”
But I can’t give my soul to any one
Must be a dozen one-and-only gods
I’ll keep my spirit free just one lifetime
I’ve gotta love the ones I want

So come to me lover you can heal me
Come to me lover you know you can set me free
Come to me lover you can save my soul
When you wrap your arms around me
When you wrap your arms around me
Yeah, when you wrap your arms around me

God doesn’t care if you get miserable
God doesn’t care if you go mad
God thinks the whole damn thing
Is just wonderful
The best dream she’s ever had
She’s ever had
