Pilgrims Progress Lyrics - Procol Harum

(fisher / reid) 

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
