PILGRIM IN A PROMISED LAND

Verse:
Well I'm sitting on the corner of this brokedown street
Up he comes, shuffling, on his blistered feet
Skin on bone,.. three quarter dead
Grabs me by the hand, and he says
"Here I am, a pilgrim, in this promised land
I'm lookin' for a witness, I can't find a friend
Ain't no job of work for me,.... you gotta understand
How I find myself in need.... of your helping hand"
Refrain:
I've been walkin'
I've been walkin'
I've been walkin'... all night and day
Verse:
Well he tells me that he's hungry..beggin' me to see
I turn and ask him, what you done for me
My own kids...they're tired and weak
I'm just hangin' on... tryin' to make it through the week
"Don't you know", he says "The wise man and the fool
Everybody's bound together with that golden rule
Here I am, your brother . Please let your mercy through
Don't you know, ....very soon.....you might be ...walkin' too"
Refrain:
You'll been walkin'
You'll been walkin'
You'll been walkin'...all night and day
Insrumental
Bridge:
In my heart ..there's children laughing
Eyes are shining...It's a brighter day
And in my heart.. there's neighbors singing
That help to guide me on my way..
Verse:
I was the last one gone from that empty town
Left the wind in the streets ... blowin' dust around
Shoes full of holes ... blistered feet
Tomorrow's gonna see me ..walkin' down your street
Refrain:
I'll be walkin',
I'll be walkin'
I'll be walkin'....all night and day

Beautiful song. With the current news the "You'll been walkin'...all night and day" gets even more weight.
