[Hook: Pilgrim]
And if this should happen to you
You are not alone (You are not alone)
You are not alone (You are not alone)
[Verse 1: Pilgrim]
So when life gives chills and spits on your dreams
See it won't sit still and you've got more bills than
Hits and stones, break those bones
Now you shoot for the goal but it goes oh no
Close but wide at the post and the pain takes toll
You finally head home but foretold you're to roam
When poverty bites, animosity strikes
You've been born on the wrong, side of the tracks
When you swing new jack but they still won't wax
And facts don't add so you know it smacks
Of the lies and you try correct the defect
In effect you reflect and you try to perfect
See you've had just enough but it doesn't let up
You scream "oh my God" but it's only just begun
Sense the storm clouds roar and the big waves crash
When you run and you dash but there's still no stash
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Pilgrim]
So we drop more bombs than Bush and Obama
Give you no peace like my peeps in Greece
Cos there's kids walking on with no shoes on their feet
Peeps on the streets with no food to eat
But even then still peace is a concept dissed
Abused and missed all for the greed
By the sun we was kissed, voice small and still
They screamed out cease, even still we preach
It was legal on the ships while they flogged with whips
Stealing art from the heart tore the minds apart
See they made many martyrs and gas chambers
So many questions no end to the answers
We tell them justice, they give us what's this?
Service and police, comes with the office
Ask their fathers and tell their mothers
The tales that we faced while we searched for the day
[Hook]
[Verse 3 - Pilgrim]
Used to be a youngster, now we much older
Made many friends, seen the world get colder
It's a brand new day, pray don't be afraid
Cos it's all a parade, burst through barricades
Of the mind, of the times, blind their eyes can't find
Open up, wake up, school daze are the kind
Seen thousands fall to the left and the right
Watched the scribes write lies while they plot crucified
The authorities laughed and the con-men bragged
Till the son of man came riding out of the sky
So you face steep odds and your chance goes none
There's no where to run and your mind cold numb
Oh yes the word became flesh and it dwelt among men
The one chose twelve, shepherds turned fishermen
The sword or the pen, or freedom from sin
Temptations within, prophecy a**a**ins
Crucified the messiah, segregated we pariah
Isaiah, Jeremiah, sold and hid Zephaniah
Build again Nehemaih, give some time to Hezekiah
As light as a feather, but we tougher than your leather
[Hook]
