Pilgrims Van der Graaf Generator

[Verse 1]
Sometimes you feel so far away
Distanced from all the action of the play
Unable to grasp significance
Marking the plot with diffident dismay
Stranded at centre stage
Scrabbling through your diary for a lost page:
Unsure of the dream

[Verse 2]
Kicking a stone across the beach
Aching for love and comfort out of reach;
The way ahead seems to be so bleak
There's no-one with any friendship left to speak
Or show you any relation
Between your present and future situations...
Lost to the dream

[Pre-Chorus]
Away, away, away - look to the future day
For hope, some form of peace
Within the growing storm

[Chorus]
I climb through the evening, alive and believing
In time we shall all know our goals and so, finally, home;
For now, all is secret - though how could I speak it
Allow me the dream in my eye!
I've been waiting for such a long time
Just to see it at last
All of the hands tightly clasped
All of us Pilgrims
