Pilgrim's Progress |
| I sat me down to write a simple story |
| which maybe in the end became a song |
| In trying to find the words which might begin it I found these were the thoughts I brought along |
| At first I took my weight to be an anchor |
| and gathered up my fears to guide me round |
| but then I clearly saw my own delusion |
| and found my struggles further bogged me down |
| In starting out I thought to go exploring |
| and set my foot upon the nearest road |
| In vain I looked to find the promised turning |
| but only saw how far I was from home |
| In searching I forsook the paths of learning |
| and sought instead to find some pirate’s gold |
| In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me and still no hidden truths could I unfold |
| I sat me down to write a simple story |
| which maybe in the end became a song |
| The words have all been writ by one before me We’re taking turns in trying to pass them on Oh, we’re taking turns in trying to pass them on |
