[Verse 1] I am dreaming
Of a riverbank
Mist enshrouds the farther shore
I am standing
In a wooden boat
In my hand, a golden oar
Will I row against the current,
Or let myself be carried out to sea?
Where I reach land at last
Is up to the river
But the journey is up to me

[Chorus] Time to sail
Reluctant Pilgrim
My fear is all I’ve got to lose
Life is nothing,
Nothing but a dreamscape
And the dream is mine to choose

[Verse 2] I am racing
Down a corridor
Endless doors on either side
I could open
Any one of them
Step on through
And Change my life
Sometimes I pause
There on the threshold
Afraid to leave my bright familiar hall
Sometimes I spend my days
Running by so quickly
That I don’t see the doors at all

[Chorus] Step on through
Reluctant Pilgrim
My fear is all I’ve got to lose
Life is nothing,
Nothing but a dreamscape
And the dream is mine to choose

[Verse 3] I am waking
In a forest glade
Needles of pine
Are in my hair
I see pathways
Through the underbrush
Leading to I don’t know where
I hear strange noises in the thickets
And I know some trails
May not be where they seem
Pain may await me
But I know if I stay here
I’ll sleep right through my dreams

[Chorus] Find the trail
Reluctant Pilgrim
My fear is all I’ve got to lose
Life is nothing,
Nothing but a dreamscape
And the dream is mine to choose

[Chorus] Let us sail
Reluctant pilgrims
Our fear is all weve got to lose
Life is nothing, nothing but a dreamscape
And the dream is ours to choose
