We are pilgrims passing by.
We’ve got to travel light.
We are strangers moving on, restless till we get home.
We are exiles homeward bound, searching for the Northern Star.
We’re sojourners for a while, nothing to hold on tight.
Hang up your hang ups, hang up your fears.
Hang up the things that bring you tears.
Hang up the regrets, hang up the pride.
Hang up the system that feed you lies.
Hang up the fighting, hang up the strife
Hang up the shadows that block the light.
Hang up your hang ups, hang up your fears
Hang up the things that bring you tears.
Cos we are flowers, melting in the noonday sun
Cos we are candles, blowing in the evening wind.
Cos we are rainbows, fading in the afternoon
Cos we are people searching for a perfect place
Cos we are dust and to dust we will return.
