Pilgrim On The Road lyrics

As he walks along the trail

He’s still all alone

Tries to leave behind the demon

That he draws along

He knows it’s only in the mind

It won’t rain all the time

But nobody’s on the road

So he has to go alone

His cold look melts away

As he faces the sun

Tries to forget how long is

He on the lonely run

For a long time his homeward bound

Get lost but not found

But nobody’s on the road

So he’s still on the run

All the pain what you bear inside

Comes away with the night

All the pain eats you up alive

But you know you have to carry on the fight

On the rocky road to Dublin

He hears a little lark

Singing songs against the goblin

And the ghost of dark

Banishes all the doubts and fears

At last replaces with cheer

Last one goes the hope

But he’s still all alone

Stops by a ruinous church

To have a little rest

Burbles slowly a prayer

With a chaplet in his hands

Invokes god for help

To save him from himself

But nobody’s listening

As he crosses the shelf

Make way for the morning sun

The ray of light shows the way to believing

Don’t be scared until it’s gone

If the rain comes back it washes away

All your pain
