Lyrics-
Choir:
I am a pilgrim, a pilgrim of sorrow,
I'm left in this wide world, this wide world alone!
Ain't got no hope, no hope for tomorrow.
Trying to make it, make heaven my home.
Choir: Repeat above
Soloist:
I am a poor pilgrim, a poor pilgrim of sorrow,
I'm left in this whole wide world, this old wide world alone!
Oh I ain't got no hope, got no hope for tomorrow.
I'm trying to make it, make heaven my home.
Choir:
Sometimes I'm tossed and I'm driven Lord.
Soloist:
Sometimes I just don't know which way to turn,
Soloist:
Oh, I heard of a city, of a city called heaven.
I'm trying to make it, make heaven my home.
Choir (starting at "heard" above):
Heard of a city, a city called heaven.
Trying to make it, make heaven my home.
Choir and soloist repeat starting at "Sometimes."
