Pilgrims Progress Lyrics by Procol Harum

Pilgrims Progress Lyrics

    (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
