Shiva Lyrics
High up in the Himalayan mountain peaks / their lived
A beautiful goddess named Parvati / Parvati was the
Wife of the god named Shiva / the king of all yogi's
Who destroys all demons / now Shiva loved to practice
Yoga deep in the forest / away from the world and all
The things that lure us / often meditating for weeks
And months / practicing detachment completely untouched
/ but whenever Shiva left
Parvati stayed home / often feeling sad and all alone
/ so one day she prayed and made a wish / for a son
Who she could have fun and play with / the very next
Morning to her surprise / a little baby laid right
In front of her eyes / Parvati could hardly control
Her joy / for the gods had blessed her with a beautiful boy /
Chorus
Son of Shiva & Parvati, with an elephants head and a fat belly
One day when Parvati was taking a bath / she instructed
Her son to protect the path / so he stood in the door
Just like a guard / there to make sure no one entered
The yard / it was at that time when Shiva returned
/ not knowing that his wife recently gave birth / when
He saw the boy he told him to move / not knowing who
His father was the boy refused / now Shiva's like this
Truth consciousness and bliss / but he's crazy when
He's angry so don't get him pissed / feeling dissed
By the boy Shiva started a rumble / an epic struggle
That shook the jungle / / then out of nowhere Shiva's
Trident went chop / and that's when the boy's head
Was cut off / / when Parvati heard the noise coming
From outside / she rushed to find that her boy had died /
Chorus
Son of Shiva & Parvati, with an elephants head and a fat belly
All the gods quickly rushed to the scene / as soon
As they heard Parvati's scream / she turned toward
Her Shiva with tears in her eyes / and painfully explained
How the boy was there child / when Shiva realized the
Size of this mess / he became stressed upset and depressed
/ that's when the god Vishnu came up with a plan /

To find another head so the boy could live again /
Shiva said we'll take the first head that we find /
But we really need to hurry cuz we're running out of
Time / deep in the jungle the gods met an elephant
/ a wise old being who attained enlightenment / he
Offered his life so the gods took his head / and quickly
Returned to where the boy laid dead / they placed it
Upon the boys body / and at first it looked funny and
Even ungodly / but Parvati said the head fit just like
A glove / truly a face only a mother could love / when
Shiva saw the boy becoming refreshed / he embraced
His son and named him Ganesh /
Chorus
Son of Shiva & Parvati, with an elephants head and a fat belly
