Pilgrim Song
by Eli

Well, every day a child's not born
But I was not his choice
I wonder who he would have been
If he only had a voice
But dead men seldom make much noise
And a half blind friend of mine
His last name was Reeves
Too poor to wash his clothes
But he thanked God who met his needs
His heart was in his dirty sleeves

And until he hears the angel's trumpet blowing
Well, none of us are really, truly home
Oh, this is a pilgrim song, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pilgrim song, yeah, yeah, yeah

And I knew a little boy
He didn't like his mom or dad
Divorce has forced him
To try to young to be a man
He thinks that struggles are all he has
Or what about that immigrant
He's lookin' for a brand new start
Famine rook his land
And war tore his life apart
Cross the ocean, cross his heart

And until he hears the angel's trumpet blowing
None of us are really, truly home
Oh, this is a pilgrim song, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pilgrim song, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pilgrim song

Why are you just sittin' there
Depressed by what you see
Jesus goes where no one knows
Prepares a place for you and me
Then we'll finally rest in peace

But until we hears the angel's trumpet blowing
None of us are really, truly home
Oh, this is a pilgrim song, yeah, yeah
Oh, this is a pilgrim song, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pilgrim song, yeah, yeah
Pilgrim song, yeah, yeah
