The Pilgrim Lyrics - Singles - Nitin Sawhney

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 meant to 

You see 

Pilgrims in the town 

All seem to hold a frown 

Say all they want to be is diggy down 

You know Speck thought he'd ask 

But figured it's just a mask 

This 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, meet my pal compromise 

And the kid you want to be you can be that 

Who's ever watched the world that's my motto 

Don't ever want to play the head honcho dig 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, meet my pal compromise 

And the kid you want to 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, meet my pal compromise 

And the kid you want to 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 meet, my pal compromise 

And the kid you want to 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 kill 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 meet my pal compromise 

And the kid you want to 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 meet, my pal compromise 

And the kid you want to 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 meet, my pal compromise 

And the kid you want to 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 meet, my pal compromise 

And the kid you want to 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 pilgriming 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 meet my pal compromise 

And the kid you want to 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 meet my pal compromise 

And the kid you want to be you can be that 

You can be that, you can be that
