Lyrics
The Young Man and His Elder
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A young man and his elder stood on the ocean's shore
The elder was full of power, a prophet of God
The young man desired the same kind of power, just as his elder had
He asked his elder, "Can I be your disciple?"
His elder replied, "Are you able to give up everything?"
The young man retorted, "Yes, I am!"
His elder took him to the deep water and plunged the young man's head beneath the raging flow
The young man began to lose his breath
In the last moment his elder pulled him from the water
The young man was angered and screamed, "Are you trying to kill me?!"
His elder calmly explained, "Just as you need air to live, you need God to survive."
