The Pilgrim
Soler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Himalayan peaks Ive crossed
To walk with you to have a talk
I wouldnt dare exaggerate
The seriousness of my own fate
It would seem that I have lost
All the battles that I have fought
Do forgive me
I am thirsty for the truth and love and wine
And I promise that I wont waste your time

Im grateful for your gentle words
Theyre the deepest that Ive heard
You say that I have found the light
But Im still lost in this dark night
Im a pilgrim from the east
Im cold, Im tired, my soul is weak
Do forgive me
I am thirsty for the truth and love and wine
And I promise that I wont waste your time

Do forgive me




I am thirsty for the truth and love and wine
And I promise that I wont waste your time

The next few lines reveal that the person they have sought out is someone whose words they find deeply moving.
