Lyrics

Sometimes you feel so far away
 Distanced from all the action of the play
 Unable to grasp significance
 Marking the plot with diffident dismay
 Stranded at centre stage
 Scrabbling through your diary for a lost page
 Unsure of the dream
 Kicking a stone across the beach
 Aching for love and comfort out of reach
 The way ahead seems to be so bleak
 There's no-one with any friendship left to speak
 Or show any relation
 Between your present and future situations
 Lost to the dream
 Away, away, away
 Look to the future day
 For hope, some form of peace
 Within the growing storm
 I climb through the evening
 Alive and believing
 In time we shall all know our goals
 And so, finally, home
 For now, all is secret
 Though how could I speak it
 Allow me the dream in my eye!
 I've been waiting for such a long time
 Just to see it at last
 All of the hands tightly clasped
 All of us pilgrims
 Walking in silence down the coast
 Merely to journey - here hope is the most
 Merely to know there is an end
 All of us - lovers, brothers, sisters, friends
 Hand in hand
 Shining footprints on the wet sand
 Lead to the dream
 The time has come
 The tide has almost run
 And drained the deep
 I rise from lifelong sleep
 It seems such a long time
 I've dreamed but now, awake I can see
 We are pilgrims and so must walk this road
 Unknown in our purpose
 Alone, but not worthless
 And home ever calling us on
 Oh, we've been waiting here for so long
 All of our hands joined in hope
 Holding the weight on the rope
 All of us pilgrims
