lyrics

Pan
(©2002 Ken Clinger)

son of hermes, uncertain mother
myths seem to suggest a goat
father brings you to mount olympus
gods laugh at your hooves and coat

hale & hearty, but solitary
gods send you to fields & woods
god of plants & god of beasts
by mankind misunderstood

pan appears in midday sunlight
vegetation turns your way
breezes laugh and swirl in delight
wildlife comes to dance & play

startled humans spurn the wildness
panic rises from your name
primitive, uncouth in nature
artless instinct still untamed

pan appears in midday sunlight
vegetation turns your way
breezes laugh and swirl in delight
wildlife comes to dance & play

christian men mad you their devil
appropriated hooves and horns
a beat to threaten the unconforming
your innocence & joy ignored.
