Where is Sheggz in the Greatest Scheme of Things?

Sis. Jenny Galang introduced this song to me. I learned that it’s from Bukas Palad. *Clap! *Clap! *Clap!

This was played while Jen was giving a talk in Singles for Christ and was used for reflection. While others are crying, I remained calm. I took the time not only to reflect but to listen to the song. I smiled. So unusual to smile on such event that requires the audience to be quiet and crying… Right there and then, I knew that it was the perfect song that speaks exactly of what it’s in my heart.

I looked at each one of my brothers and sisters… all crying…  Why cry on song that inspires?
Why bother…. if they want to cry?
It just requires the listeners to think and reflect on the kind of life we have as pilgrims.
And it will leave you a very interesting question of…

“Where were you in that greatest scheme of things?”

A reply that no one else can answer but you.
Don’t cry at all times.
Stop. Look and Listen with all your heart.
Crying sometimes prevents us to discern what our hearts really want to say.

Guys… take time to read the lyrics… it's really good!

Pilgrim's Theme
Lyrics by Johnny Go, SJ
Music by Manoling Francisco, SJ

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:
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 will 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 road 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:
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 will fall in place
I know in time I’ll find my place…

Bridge:
For yours is the voice in my deepest dreams
You are the heart, the very heart of the greater scheme of things.

So here I’ll follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings.
I hope to find my place, so my life will fall in place
I know in time I’ll find my place…

Chorus:
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.
