Chorus:
   Where are you going to, Pilgrim?
   Where the river carries the water of life
   Where are you going, going?
   Where the forest's shadow passes away
  
   The river flows with darkness
   The candle light is pale
   A danger path through meadows
   Shedding burdens of doubt and fear
  
   (Chorus)
  
   What will you do there, Pilgrim?
   I will fight with giants of despair and demons
   What will you do there, do there?
   To desire a better place, a promised land
  
   (Chorus)
  
   What will you see there, Pilgrim?
   All the wonder, heavenly realm, city of joy, herald
   What will you see there, see there?
   Host of angels, splendid in our eyes
  
   The distant trumpet sounding
   Great heart will light our way
   The open door before us
   Draw nearer to paradise
  
   (Chorus, 3rd verse)
