Lyrics

It's a mountain that we all must climb
In giant leaps or one step at a time

I saw a fat, old money lender - shoes of silk and ermine
Laughing as they stambled on blistered feet rough shod
He never helped the poor and weak - viewed them all as vermin
So when he fell they passed him by and struggled up to god

Each of us must walk a different track -
No sign to guide us and no turning back

[Chorus:]
Humanity in motion - it's the pilgrimage eternal
Most are blind - but I suspect what rare few know is real
"You carry me, I'll carry you" this simple childish notion
A cable car to shangrai-la
Your worn up soul to heal

The soldier boy is marching proud (with military precision)
Kicking others from the path - so keen to reach the peak
Never will he get there with this tactical decision -
He spends so much time fighting that each footstep takes a week

Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero
Persta et obdura - omnia vincit amor!

My money's on the holy man - just clad in sack and sandals
Heard a small child crying there - so turned around and stopped
Like a beacon now he shines (bright as a million candles)
Alone upon the summit when the selfish have all dropped

It's no contest - but we still race there
Like the saintly tortoise and the godless hare

Humanity in motion - it's the pilgrimage eternal
Most are blind - but I suspect what rare few know is real
"You carry me, I'll carry you" this simple childish notion
A cable car to shangrai - la
Your worn up soul to heal

You're worn up sole to heal
Your worn up soul too ..
Heal your worn up soul
