Music and Lyrics by Owen Temple and Walt Wilkins
I am one more pilgrim
on this road low and high
Through this land of miracles
I’ve been traveling all night
I tangled with the darkness
I swear at moments I was blind
Til the dawn came up around me
And I could see the way unwind
I am the road behind me
I am the road ahead
Lifted by this rocky ridge
Cradled by the riverbed
A harmony of motion
Through the wide expanse of time
Sunlight through the heavens
Watch it shine
Watch it shine
They say there’s iron in these mountains
In bone and skin and mud
They say iron can only come from stars
So stars are in my blood
Red and blue and purple
Shadows grow then fade
Spread in all directions
From where it all was made
I am the road behind me
I am the road ahead
Lifted by this rocky ridge
Cradled by the riverbed
A harmony of motion
Through the wide expanse of time
Sunlight through the heavens
Watch it shine
Watch it shine
