Pilgrim

Pilgrim is the grey of dawn
Leaving in the mist of morning
On his journey of goodness
Heaven sent, God blessed
Pilgrim laughting at the world
Spreading joy at the touch of his hand
Wiping out all the misery
Making love and history
Those of us who don't know war
Shouldn't try to make it
So many did and even more died
Do you think and could take it
LOve lies waiting at my back door
Such a beautiful matter of fact
Life's like an apple with love as the core
And I tell you 'bout that
Just a man in my prime
Love was there but I had no timer
I was cheered and adored
And I thought fame was all the world
Battles won and victory cheers
Were the sounds I'd heard for years
But the woman I really loved
Was losing me in all this blood
I only knew I had to win
And built the world when I was king
But leaders come and leaders go
And that's the truth I came to know
Love or war I couldn't choose
And so both I came to lose
