Shaan
Born on the "angel isle"
In the ancient city of he who died
To satisfy a kingly pride,
He will know his home to be
A paradise amidst the sea,
And his mother's southern land,
So too his native England.
Of the East and of the West
He will have knowledge of all that's best.
A man for all the world he'll be
And all the world to thee,
For he is Shaan, "Illumined One"
He is Shaan,
He is your son.
