One of the favorite 60s bands Procol Harum from their classic salty dog album Pilgrims progress I sat me down to write a simple story which maybe in the end became a song & in trying to find the words which might begin it i found these were the thoughts i brought along At first i took my weight to be an anchor i gathered up my fears to guide me round but then i clearly saw my own dillusion And found my struggles further bogged me down In starting out, i thought to go exploring and set my foot upon the nearest road in vain, i looked to find the promised turning but only saw how far i was from home In starting, i forsook the paths of learning and sought instead to find some pirates gold In fighting, i did hurt those dearest to me And still no hidden truths could i unfold I sat me down to write a simple story which maybe in the end became a song The words have all been read by one before me We,re taking turns in trying to pass them on Oh, we,re taking turns in trying to pass them on.
