I woke up at 4am
Knowing what I needed to do
I had to find out if there was still hope
Or if we were throughHeaded north bound to San Francisco
As the sun rose from the east
Carried on wheels of hope
Seeking love and peaceBut as the miles stretched on for hours
It became clear to me
That sometimes being courageous
Borders on being crazyI drove 500 miles
On a pilgrimage of hope
Hoping to salvage what was left of us
Before coming back home
But I never got to see you
Or hear your voice again
And I had to accept that sometimes things
Just come to an endI drove 500 miles
On a pilgrimage of hope
'Cuz I realize that love can only grow
Where energy flows
But the messages in the miles
Helped me know
That sometimes the only place to drive
Is straight back homeYou silence said everything
And you wouldn't give me time
I risked it all for love
Even though it broke this heart of mineI gathered up all my strength
And put the tissues away
Then I turned my car around
And drove home the very next dayAs the miles stretched on for hours
I let my angels lead the way
'Cuz sometimes the only way to heal
Is to surrender and prayI drove 500 miles
On a pilgrimage of hope
Hoping to salvage what was left of us
Before coming back home
But I never got to see you
Or hear your voice again
And I had to accept that sometimes things
Just come to an endI drove 500 miles
On a pilgrimage of hope
'Cuz I realize that love can only grow
Where energy flows
But the messages in the miles
Helped me know
That sometimes the only place to drive
Is straight back homeI drove 500 miles on a pilgrimage of hope
