Pilgrims - New Stereo Mix 2021
Sometimes you feel so far away
Distanced from all the action of the play
Unable to grasp significance
Marking the plot with diffident dismay
Stranded at centre stage
Scrabbling through your diary for a lost page
Unsure of the dream
Kicking a stone across the beach
Aching for love and comfort out of reach
The way ahead seems to be so bleak
There's no one with any friendship left to speak
Or show you any relation
Between your present and future situations
Lost to the dream
Away (away, away, away), away, away
Look to the future day
For hope, some form of peace
Within the growing storm
I climb through the evening
Alive and believing
In time, we shall all know our goals
And so, finally, home
For now, all is secret
Though how could I speak it?
Allow me the dream in my eye
I've been waiting for such a long time
Just to see it at last
All of the hands tightly clasped
All of us pilgrims
Walking in silence down the coast
Merely to journey, here hope is the most
Merely to know there is an end
All of us lovers, brothers, sisters, friends
Hand in hand
Shining footprints on the wet sand
Lead to the dream
The time (the time, the time, the time) has come (has come, has come, has come)
The tide has almost run
And drained the deep
I rise from lifelong sleep
It seems such a long time I've dreamed
But now awake, I can see
We are pilgrims, and so
Must walk this road
Unknown in our purpose
Alone, but not worthless
And home ever calling us on
Oh, we've been waiting here for so long
All of our hands joined in hope
Holding the weight on the rope
All of us pilgrims
Distanced from all the action of the play
Unable to grasp significance
Marking the plot with diffident dismay
Stranded at centre stage
Scrabbling through your diary for a lost page
Unsure of the dream
Kicking a stone across the beach
Aching for love and comfort out of reach
The way ahead seems to be so bleak
There's no one with any friendship left to speak
Or show you any relation
Between your present and future situations
Lost to the dream
Away (away, away, away), away, away
Look to the future day
For hope, some form of peace
Within the growing storm
I climb through the evening
Alive and believing
In time, we shall all know our goals
And so, finally, home
For now, all is secret
Though how could I speak it?
Allow me the dream in my eye
I've been waiting for such a long time
Just to see it at last
All of the hands tightly clasped
All of us pilgrims
Walking in silence down the coast
Merely to journey, here hope is the most
Merely to know there is an end
All of us lovers, brothers, sisters, friends
Hand in hand
Shining footprints on the wet sand
Lead to the dream
The time (the time, the time, the time) has come (has come, has come, has come)
The tide has almost run
And drained the deep
I rise from lifelong sleep
It seems such a long time I've dreamed
But now awake, I can see
We are pilgrims, and so
Must walk this road
Unknown in our purpose
Alone, but not worthless
And home ever calling us on
Oh, we've been waiting here for so long
All of our hands joined in hope
Holding the weight on the rope
All of us pilgrims
