Pilgrims Lyrics

The Act of Uniformity in

Fifteen Fifty-nine

Forced everyone to go to church

Or else to pay a fine

John Rough became a Martyr for

The London Underground

He paid a much higher price

For challenging the crown

The followers of Robert Browne

Moved to the Netherlands

Some choose to go Middleberg

And some choose Amsterdam

The elder William Brewster published

Books to spread the word

Even there the Brownist message

Struggled to be heard

We are Pilgrims

Sailing 'cross the sea

Hoping to be free

In the new world

We are Pilgrims

God has found a way

To save our lives today

We are Pilgrims

A land patent was issued by

The plymouth Company

Allowing us to settle on the

Hudson by the sea

We left the shores of England on a

Cold September day

Sailing 'cross the ocean 'til we

Came to Cape Cod Bay

We signed a constitution

The Mayflower Compact

Democracy was guarantied

Our land was fair and just

Each family got a plot of land

That they could call their own

Working day and night until each

House became a home

We are Pilgrims

Sailing 'cross the sea

Hoping to be free

In the new world

We are Pilgrims

God has found a way

To save our lives today

We are Pilgrims

We are Pilgrims

Sailing 'cross the sea

Hoping to be free

In the new world

We are Pilgrims

God has found a way

To save our lives today

We are Pilgrims
