Pilgrim’s Theme
I visited the blog of a beautiful face I saw in one site this morning. It was a blessing to find a song which I haven’t heard for a long time. I started singing. And got inspired. Let me share with you the lyrics of the music, and the comment I left in her blog.
PILGRIM’S THEME (Jesuit Music)
Tired of weaving dreams too loose for me to wear.
Tired of watching clouds repeat their dance on air.
Tired of getting tied to doing what’s required
Is life a mere routine in the greater scheme of things?
Through with taking roads someone else designed.
Through with chasing stars that soon forget to shine.
Through with going through one more day, what’s new?
Does my life still mean a thing in the greater scheme of things?
Each must go his way. But how can I decide?
Which path I should take, who will be my guide?
I need some kind of star to lead me somewhere far.
To find a higher dream in the greater scheme of things.
The road before me bends, I don’t know what I’ll find.
Will I meet a friend or ghosts I left behind?
Should I even be surprised that you’re with me in disguise
For it’s your hand I have seen in the greater scheme of things.
I think I’ll follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings.
I hope to find my place so my life will fall in place
I know in time I’ll find my place…
For yours is the voice in my deepest dreams
You are the heart, the very heart of the greater scheme of things.
So here I think I?ll follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings.
I hope to find my place, so my life will fall in place
I know in time I’ll find my place…
One day we’ll find our place
For all things fall in place.
For all things have a place
in the greater scheme of things
My comment:
I first heard of this song when I bough a Bukas Palad cassette tape from SM Centerpoint. At once, I fell in love with the lyrics. I felt it was the themesong of my life.
I was still a teacher then in Jubilee Christian Academy. I still remember that I even played the song for my 4th year class. They liked it too. During the same time, I created a website where I posted the collection of my poems and favorite songs. The site is no longer existing. I forgot the title but not the lyrics. Haven’t heard the song for some time now for my cassette is now dead. But I do remember the song… especially the part the says,
“I think I’ll follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings.
I hope to find my place so my life will fall in place
I know in time I’ll find my place… “
I am no longer teaching in a school. I think I found my place, and everything now falls in place. It is great to see the greater scheme of things.
