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? |
