MC Yogi feat. Rita Sahai Son of Shiva song lyrics

1st verse

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 yogis who destroys all

demons / now Shiva loved to practice yoga deep in the forest / far away from the world &

all the things that lure us /in deep samadhi for weeks and months / practicing detachment

completely untouched / but whenever Shiva left Parvati stayed home / often feeling sad & all alone / so one day she prayed & made a wish / for a son who she could have fun

& play with / the very next moment 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

Son of Shiva & Parvati / with an elephants head and a fat belly

2nd verse

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 Shiva saw the boy he told him to move / but 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 and dismissed 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 outside she

rushed to find that her boy had died

Son of Shiva & Parvati / with an elephants head and a fat belly

3rd verse

All the gods quickly rushed to the scene / as soon as they heard Parvati's scream

she turned toward 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 depressed, upset &

stressed that's when lord Brahma came up with a plan / let's 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 bowed to the gods and he offered his

head / and then they quickly returned to where the boy laid dead / Shiva placed the big

head on top of the boys body / and at first it looked funny and even ungodly / but Parvati

said the head fit like a glove / truly the face only a mother could love / when Shiva saw

the boy becoming refreshed / he embraced his son and named him Ganesh

Son of Shiva & Parvati / with an elephants head and a fat belly
