Lyrics Pilgrim's Way - Máire Brennan

Where are you going to, pilgrim?
Where the river carries the water of life
Where are you going, going?
Where the forest's shadow passes away

The river flows with darkness
The candle light is pale
A danger path through meadows
Shedding burdens of doubt and fear

Where are you going to, pilgrim?
Where the river carries the water of life
Where are you going, going?
Where the forest's shadow passes away

What will you do there, pilgrim?
I will fight with giants of despair and demons
What will you do there, do there?
To desire a better place, a promised land

Where are you going to, pilgrim?
Where the river carries the water of life
Where are you going, going?
Where the forest's shadow passes away

What will you see there, pilgrim?
All the wonder, heavenly realm, city of joy, herald
What will you see there, see there?
Host of angels, splendid in our eyes

The distant trumpet sounding
Great heart will light our way
The open door before us
Draw nearer to paradise

Where are you going to, pilgrim?
Where the river carries the water of life
Where are you going, going?
Where the forest's shadow passes away

What will you see there, pilgrim?
All the wonder, heavenly realm, city of joy, herald
What will you see there, see there?
Host of angels, splendid in our eyes
