Pilgrimage To Paradise |
| While walking slowly down upon my lonely road one day |
| The dust did bite my eyes, and I could not find my way |
| My destination faintly gleaming far beyond my weary eyes |
| I continued on my pilgrimage to Paradise |
| I continued on my journey to a place I’ve never been |
| With no assurance it would be there, save a glimmer in the night |
| That flashed and flitted fitfully among my waking dreams |
| I continued on my pilgrimage to Paradise |
| I met travelers upon the way who could no longer stand |
| I offered them refreshments and stretched out a willing hand |
| Not that they would not or they could not, they just did not understand |
| How painful was my pilgrimage to Paradise |
| Now, my own feet they are bleeding, and my tongue is parched and dry |
| I called to a fellow traveler but he did not heed my cry |
| Did I run too far ahead or did I lag too far behind |
| Upon my painful pilgrimage to Paradise? |
| Some people speak of pastures where the milk and honey flow |
| I have no such illusions of the place I want to go |
| But with bleeding blisters on my feet, no friendly shade in sight |
| Is it worth the painful pilgrimage to Paradise? |
