Allfather Guide Me

Verse 1

I looked up and I saw a crow,

And I fretted not in the Allfather’s glow.

With his all-seeing eye he guided me forth

To a quiet glade where his true form showed.

Verse 2

He pointed straight into my heart,

And a truth shone abundantly clear:

In this world so lost in disarray,

Without his guiding hand I had strayed far from here.

Chorus

Guide me back, O Allfather wise,

Back to the land of peace.

Remind me of love and serenity,

Bring me home where my spirit finds release.

Verse 3

“No better burden can a traveler bear

Than wisdom gathered along the road.”

“The unwise man lies awake all night,

Worrying over every worry; come morning he is weary,

And his burden weighs as heavy as before.”

In this world’s loud chaos, where minds run wild,

I wandered lost and only grew more blind —

But now I hear your counsel, calm and kind.

Chorus

Guide me back, O Allfather wise,

Back to the land of peace.

Remind me of love and serenity,

Bring me home where my spirit finds release.

Verse 4

Bring me to my brothers, my fathers, my kin,

Open the doors and guide me in.

Through storm and shadow, through doubt and din,

Lead me once more where the old ways begin.

Bridge

“At every doorway before you enter,

Look round, spy round — for you never know

What foe may sit waiting within.”

“Better a small gift given with an open heart

Than great wealth offered with a heavy hand.”

You hung upon the Tree, you drank from Mimir’s well,

Gave your eye for wisdom none can tell —

Now turn that gaze upon your wandering son,

And bring me back where I belong.

Final Chorus

Guide me back to the land of peace,

Remind me of love and serenity.

Bring me to my brothers, my fathers, my kin,

Open the doors… and guide me in.

Outro

I looked up… and I saw a crow…

In the Allfather’s glow…

Hail Odin, Raven-God, Spear-Lord, Wanderer true,

Guide me back… and guide me in.
