In The Greater Scheme of Things

I found a song “Pilgrims Theme (Greater Scheme of Things) by the Jesuits Fathers Johnny Go and Manoling Francisco years before and even now it still speaks so much truth on life. Let the following lyrics speaks to you:

Tired of weaving dreams too loose for me to wear
Tired of watching clouds repeat their dance on air
Tired of getting tied to 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 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 heart
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 place
For all things fall in place
For all things have a place
In the greater scheme of things

There are times in life when we don’t know where we are going, dark nights more frequent and cloudy skies more present. However, history is telling us, that we do still find good in life, enough reason to smile and far more reason to hope. All we need is to listen to the voice within.

Lord, grant us the grace of a listening heart, so we can hear the voice within and dance to the silent song it sings. Amen.
