WHEN RUMI MET ATTAR song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

on the day that Rumi met Attar
was the day that the star appeared
the star of alternate knowledge
the ending of ultimate fear

the day of the morning forever
the night that was only a dream
a hand took a hand in friendship
and what is was what could have been

the son behind the father
the father in front of the son
the sea being followed by ocean
the one being all it becomes

Attar gave Rumi a book
of the web that is weaved in the world
how a man can get tangled in wealth
his soul for the love of a girl

but the work is worth that you live for
and the word is worth all you can say
so remember tomorrow's a promise
of the labor we put in today

on the day that Attar met Rumi
was a day of a thousand years
the past is the future a circle
of joy and the ending of tears

listen to the reed
and to the tale it tells
there are a billion heavens
but only a single hell

all who you think you seek
you seek and no one else
his essence speaks through thee
you are looking for your self

when we are dead seek not our grave
seek not our grave beneath the earth
but look into your heart and you will see
all that we have become worth
