Many Names

I go by many names
James is my given name
Or Jimmy or Jim
I'm a Jr. named after my father
Although he hates my Middle name
Patrick, though it is the same
It was name of one of my mother's former lovers
That's why when I'm published it'll be abbreviated to just P.

I go by many names
Hyperion is my titan name
God of watchfulness, wisdom and light
I've learned I have the seer's sight
And am a creature of pure light and insight
In my words you find my wisdom of the human experience
That has been this short mortal life

I go by many names
They used to call me Jesus
Fat Jesus to be precise, that wasn't too nice
Fucked with my head and I got to believe
I was he who had returned from the dead
As was said he would one day to lead us
Into a new age of aquarius, Revelations
My revelation is this, he and I are somewhat
The same because of my sign, the two fish
I see with dreamier eyes of true sight

I go by many names
My stage name is Obi
Short for Obi-wan Kenobi
The Jedi of Star Wars fame
Someone once gave that name
Because I have a Jedi mentality
Grow out my beard and like to wear hoods
And that is my favorite nickname

I go by many names
I was once known as Taliesin
The poet that was the basis of Merlin
A wizard of words and light
He too had the sight

I go by many names
And so do you
