Pilgrim Lyrics - Gold - Uriah Heep

A pilgrim at the gray of dawn 

Leaving in the mist of morning 

On his journey of goodness 

Heaven sent, God blessed 

Pilgrim laughing 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 

We shouldn't try to make it 

So many did and even more died 

Do you think you 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'll tell you 'bout that 

Just a man in my prime 

Love was there 

But I had no time 

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 women I really loved 

Was losing me 

To all this blood 

I only knew I had to win 

And build a world 

Where 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 had to lose
