Nitin Sawhney - The Pilgrim lyrics

Woke up in the morning in a temple Kinda lucky on my feet for it was central So i walk across the village Saw a group of kids pillage And i thought to myself i might be mental You see Pilgrims in the town All seem to hold a frown Say all they wanna be is diggy down You know speck thought he'd ask But figured it's just a mask Tthis guy's on something else that's profound I'm not the stool or the fool or the leader here to rule Not the lover or the fighter who came here to duel But i thought i looked into, but i walked into So i can understand all the rules, cool? Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet Might take a village ever long to see that Don't break your ties with my pal compromise And the kid you wanna be you can be that Who's ever watched the world that's my motto Don't ever wanna play the head honcho ?? but huh If you try to push i won't beat around the bush Straight up you're getting dissed on the pronto. Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet Might take a village ever long to see that Don't break your ties with my pal compromise And the kid you wanna be you can be that If i could, i'd solve the problems of the world that exist If i could always chill, i would without resist If you weren't so literal, brother you might get it Pack my bags, tambourines, and jeans so don't sweat it Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet Might take a village ever long to see that Don't break your ties with my pal compromise And the kid you wanna be you can be that Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet Might take a village ever long to see that Don't break your ties with my pal compromise And the kid you wanna be you can be that Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet. As the journey continues i gain current instincts I feel i know what they must be thinking, for instance When they speak in riddles i'm left with the question But won't stop arguments to k** attention They all got a sixth sense to be one another So pilgrims seek refuge undercover Where it's fly like birds to live a lot is absurd Try telling that to this kid named unver Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet Might take a village ever long to see that Don't break your ties with my pal compromise And the kid you wanna be you can be that Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet Might take a village ever long to see that Don't break your ties with my pal compromise And the kid you wanna be you can be that I met him on tour a week on for twenty four He was born in the village, but left in ninety four Now he's still got probs he doesn't know how to solve I said, "unver, i've been there before" In the light of understanding i forgot it Sometimes the boat shakes when you rock it I told him we are like family, a part of humanity Don't overdo, and don't toss it. Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet Might take a village ever long to see that Don't break your ties with my pal compromise And the kid you wanna be you can be that Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet Might take a village ever long to see that Don't break your ties with my pal compromise And the kid you wanna be you can be that He dug and moved on with his life 'cause he digs it gets real dark at night Don't want a collar that's blue or a reflection of you Just wants us to get his plight Myself i'd like the years just to take me away It might leave a part of this world in dismay But the village calls the pilgrim ?in negroes? After all i'm just one needle in the hay Now what i'm speaking in is symbolics But you can call it what you want to call it See all that i do is throw words, and i hope that you caught it Only got one arrow but i aim for two targets Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet Might take a village ever long to see that Don't break your ties with my pal compromise And the kid you wanna be you can be that Life is like a puzzle not pieced yet Might take a village ever long to see that Don't break your ties with my pal compromise And the kid you wanna be you can be that You can be that, you can be that
