The Jaguar was a song made a few days before these live recordings, sharing the story of how the Jaguar (who I also call my grandfather) guided me through my dreams and thoughts to see what could be seen as challenges as opportunities to come into deeper alignment, truth, humility, and to see the gifts of giving and how humanity has to remember how to truly give.... To truly give, rather then investing.
The Jaguar has guided me to the songs of the earth, and deeper connection to the true healing of music in its nature, to listen, and to use song as a way of giving to the Earth, and to the spirit of the Universe.
lyrics
Verse 1
My Life has been on the line,
So many times and I ask myself why
I was born into the storm of life
Who needs a plate of armour
When your Spirit knows what's the best
I outshook the arrows from my chest
The stories of creation gave me breath
Verse 2
I felt my soul touch the desert floor
As the Mother she spoke to me
She said write your songs on ancient lines
For this life is a mirror for you to see
That maybe its not about what you get
But its about what you truly give,
And how could anything be taken,
When your spirit will always live
Chorus
And the thunder came by
As the Fire washed the sky
Then came an eagle
To sing creations lullaby
How could anything be taken,
When your spirit will always live,
Its not about what you get,
Its about what you truly give
Verse 3
My heart lives in the jungle
Caressed by a jaguar with old skin
Sometimes he runs inside,
The sacred songs he will always sing
Guided by the forces of the forest,
Our ancestors hold us to be honest,
The truth in the leaves and the wind,
Grandfathers wisdom so deep within
Chorus
And the thunder came by
As the Fire washed the sky
Then came an eagle
To sing creations lullaby
How could anything be taken,
When your spirit will always live,
Its not about what you get,
Its about what you truly give
Chorus
And the thunder came by
As the Fire washed the sky
Then came an eagle
To sing creations lullaby
How could anything be taken,
When your spirit will always live,
Its not about what you get,
Its about what you truly give
