"The Pilgrim's Trail" lyrics
The Cast of The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry & Passenger Lyrics
(from "The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry" soundtrack)
Harold
The name's Rich and thank God that I'm here
I'm a bit like Bear Grylls if he drank too much beer
I like hunting and hiking and watching Top Gear
I'm the reigning mansplaining champ of the year
Welcome aboard, it's a pleasure to meet ya
My name's Wilf, have you met my mate Rita?
The foxes are freaky, but they don't want to eat ya
The Lord's love is free, and so is the pizza
Sing loud and sing clear
We are proud, we are here
And we're searching for the holiest grail
We have hope in our hearts
And together we're more than the sum of our parts
We are walking a pilgrim's trail
Oh, how could love fail?
Kate is my name, please don't call me Katie
I've taken enough of the world's shit lately
My feet bloody hurt and my back's bloody achy
But I've not walked this much since the mid-1980s
Hi Harold, I'm Linda, I'm from Milton Keynes
I foolishly threw out my shirt and my jeans
I'm hot and I'm itchy, this suit is a killer
Now why did I dress like a fucking gorilla?
Sing loud and sing clear
We are proud, we are here
And we're searching for the holiest grail
We have hope in our hearts
And together we're more than the sum of our parts
We are walking a pilgrim's trail
Oh, how could love fail?
— I'm surprised so many people wanted to get involved. It's nice, the way it's helping them.
— Nice? Everything nice and neat and folded away. That's not living, that's fear.
— It's nice that so many wanted to join me
— This is not about other people, it's about you. It's about you and me.
So tell me, what are you doing this all for?
A nod of approval, a round of applause?
They think you're so brave, so true and so sure
But I know you're hollow still down to your core
Do you think that you're breaking out of your mold?
You've loosened the noose you've so tightly controlled
You've walked all this way, but still need to be told
That it's just the same cowardice bullshit of old
You remember the day on the beach like I planned
But you still choose to bury your head in the sand
Oh, Harold, come on, let's talk man to man
Or has this walk not finally taught you to stand?
Come dance in the shadow world, scream into the storm
Let all of the blackness and darkness swarm
Let go of this feeble act you perform
Unfold and unveil your ugliest form
Come stand on the precipice, stare into the flames
Draw out the poisons that course through your veins
Be soaked in your guilt and drown in your shame
Feast on your grief as you call out my name
The name's Rich and thank God that I'm here
I'm a bit like Bear Grylls if he drank too much beer
I like hunting and hiking and watching Top Gear
I'm the reigning mansplaining champ of the year
Welcome aboard, it's a pleasure to meet ya
