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 trry to make it   So many did, and even more died   Do you think you can take it?      Love lies waiting at my back door   Such a beautiful matter of fact   Life is like an apple   With love as the core   And i'll tell you about 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've heard for years   But the woman I really loved   Was losing me   To all this blood      I only knew I had to win   And build the world   Where I was king   But leaders come and leaders go   And that's the truth   I came to know      Love or war I could not choose   And so both    I had to lose
