Verse 1:
Saw a sign on the path;
"All seekers this way".
A fairy sat and laughed;
Threw a petal my way.
Chorus 1:
As I neared the bridge,
Two soldiers stood and stared.
"No one passes by us, up a-head;
You're welcome here."
Interlude:
(x3),
Verse 2:
Carried on down the road,
To the market-place.
I was still alone,
No one knew my face.
Chorus 2:
Then a stranger sang,
With voice like the wind.
Then the hails be-gan to sing;
,
"Wel-come in."
Bridge 1:
Time rolls on,
Ain't no good to sit and moan.
Time rolls on,
And so we travel on.
Chorus 3:
Never did I i-magine,
What a dawn would be.
'Till I opened my eyes, to see;
It was welcoming me.
Interlude:

Verse 3:
At the end of my days,
On my way home.
I paused a while to gaze,
Upon the sacred stone.
Chorus 4:
There I stood in the middle,
Of the holy do-main.
Then the people came out to say;
,
"Welcome home, a-gain."
Coda:
Time rolls on,
And so we carry on.
Time rolls on,
Ain't no good to sit and moan.
Time rolls on,
And so we travel on.
Time rolls on,
Ain't no good to sit a-lone.
(Time rolls on).
(Time rolls on,
Ain't no good to sit and moan).
(Time rolls on).
