" Been Here Before "
My father to me when i was young
What you tell me must have been fun
It was more than that
I was actually there
My first see
A Plesiosaur
Swimming in pods
A family of three
New to my world
Fancy free
I slept for a while
Nature asked me back
A ***** man
From the Nile track
Herding camels to freight the blocks
The tomb of Ra
Blocks en-locked
Future builders shocked
Fishing on Unst, in the distance i view
Longboats, Vikings - marauders of new
Norway from, Shetlands they land
Rape, pillage - i don't understand
Eyes closed, for another day
Centuries of slumber, stirred again
What awaits me as i live today
Happenings, wait I'll say
Guns shooting, from over the hill
Buffalo, my animals spill
White man taken down
To the Indian invisible sound
Arrows fired from the horse
Like axe in the Shetlands, by the Norse
Deep sleep falling
I must be dying
Being eternal
So so tiring
Beep, Beep, - Beep, Beep
Alarm clock's going
I'm up again, in a different life
Married, 4 kids and a wife
But for tomorrow
I can not say
Where I'll be, it's another day
But my memories are from the past
So many places, so many asks
As i grow to love this world i adore
I,m so lucky
I have " Been here before "
