A pilgrim at the grey 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
