Pilgrim's Theme

Happy New Year to all! Here I am, having a blast creating my blog account in Friendster, hehehe. It is something I really wanted to do a few months back but just cannot find the time to accomplish ( you know, I was very busy with so much unproductive busyness hahaha). I guess this will be a medium to express my thoughts on this journey called Life.
For my second blog ( where's the first one? You will know as the days progress), let me share this inspiring song from Bukas Palad ( Whenever I have time, like today, I just love playing it a couple of times and medidate upon it ). I first heard this song in a Lingkod Prayer meeting, I really cannot remember the theme for that PM but it was more of unloading your burdens to Him when you feel tired ( something to that effect). When the PM leader asked that lights be turned off and this song be played ( with the lyrics flashed in the projector), I just found myself crying a bucket. I easily related to the song as I was having an exhausting week that time. I searched for it afterwards, eager to have a copy, and lucky me as my sister, who is an avid Bukas Palad listener, has the CD ( The Best of Bukas Palad, volume 2) which contains this song.
In this fast-paced world where we tend to make too many plans for ourselves...in the end, God is telling us that He is still our Master Planner...that we may have better plans but God only has the best plans for us and He will give these in His own perfect time. All we need to do is Trust....Have Faith.

==========================
Tired of weaving dreams too loose for me to wear
Tired of watching clouds repeat their dance on air
Tired of getting tired of doing what's required
Is life a mere routine in the greater scheme of things?
Through with taking roads someone else designed
Through with chasing stars that soon forget to shine
Through with going through one more day - what's new?
Does my life still mean a thing in the greater scheme of things?

REFRAIN 1:
I think I'll follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings
I hope to find my place
So my life can fall in place
I know in time I'll find my place
In the greater scheme of things

Each must go his way, but how can I decide
Which path I should take, who will be my guide
I need some kind of star to lead me somewhere far
To find a higher dream in the greater scheme of things
The road before me bends, I don't know what I'll find
Will I meet a friend or ghosts I've left behind
Should I even be surprised that
You're with me in disguise?
For it's Your hand I have seen in the greater scheme of things

(REFRAIN 1)

BRIDGE:
For Yours is the voice in my deepest dreams
You are the heart, the very hear
Of the greater scheme of things (REFRAIN 1)

REFRAIN 2:
Why don't we follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings
One day we'll find our placeFor all things fall in place
For all things have a place
In the greater scheme of things

-End-
