the old priest gazes out upon his flock
each head bowed before the sacred altar
a scarred and broken-bodied warrior
seeking inner peace and final absolution
an elderly wealthy man of commerce
with hopes he'll buy his way to paradise
an anxious scholar who looks for answers
to questions he seems unable to conceive
a mother praying for her hungry children
husband passed away of too much drink
and a road-weary wandering mendicant
who can no longer bear the pilgrim's trail
as the old priest blesses his congregation
he reflects upon one simple timeless truth
no matter how far or wide one ventures
all roads in the end lead back to home
