LYRICS:
(1)
In nineteen hundred and
sixty-five
The western world came
alive
For there entered into this
land
A very, very Special Man.
(2)
Coming here on His Guru's
command
At sixty-nine, He was not a
young man
After struggling hard for
over a year
Finally we began to hear.
(3)
After Chanting Hare
The newspapers finally made
a remark
No one really knew then or
had any idea
What the Swamiji brought
from
(4)
The Transcendental message
of the Bhagavatam
Into our language this
knowledge has come
Now by the Mercy of His
Divine Grace
Pure love of God has taken
lust's place
And the bliss of the Holy
Name of God we now taste.
(5)
With no help from His god
brothers or anyone
Officials of
Starting in the Bowery then
on to
Trying to give the West a
chance to be saved.
(6)
As time went on the
movement grew in size
And then everyone began to
realize
Prabhupad would not be with
us for very long
What are we going to do
when He's gone?
Prabhupada, Jaya (Jagat)
Gurudev!
(7)
Speaking the words of the
Supersoul
Surely He satisfied His
Spiritual Master's goal
Giving the unfortunate pure
devotional service
Giving us freely the key to
spiritual bliss.
(8)
Now Prabhupad is gone, His
reputation rests on us
We must teach the world
what He has taught us
Just as His purity reflects
on us
So must our activities make
Him Glorious!
(9) In nineteen hundred and
seventy-seven
Srila Prabhupad returned to
Heaven
Leaving us here to fulfill
His plans
He was a very Special Man.
