Lyrics
When I was young, I sang a song
Of tall ships called to sea
And I wondered then if the day would come
When their bells would toll for me
They were pilgrims bound for a distant shore
As they put the shoulder to the oar
As they raised their sails for the great unknown
They'd begun their long journey home
They were seekers often blind
Struggling onward against the tide
Sons and daughters as we are
Seeking shelter near or far
They were pilgrims bound for a distant shore
As they put the shoulder to the oar
And they set their course thru the wind and storm
As they made the hard journey home
And their spirit lives on in every man's heart
We will walk thru this life until the day we depart
From the world we know to a world that's new
As it was from them, it must be for us too
We are pilgrims one and all
Yes, we are pilgrims, can you hear the call
We are pilgrims born for a distant shore
As we put our shoulders to the oar
Let us raise our sails for the great unknown
And together we'll find our way home
We are pilgrims born for a distant shore
As we put our shoulders to the oar
Let us raise our sails for the great unknown
And together we'll find our way home
We are pilgrims
