Thread Name: Pilgrimage songs and pilgrimage.
Subject: RE: Pilgrimage songs and pilgrimage.
This old Girl Scout song came to my mind. It's not really a specific place but it feels sort of pilgrimage to me.

I Know a Place

I know a place where no one ever goes.
There's peace and quiet, beauty and repose.
It's hidden in a valley beside a mountian stream.
And lying there beside the stream I find that I can dream
only of things of beauty to the eye,
snow peaked mountians towering to the sky.
Now I know that God has made this world for me.

One can imagine herself as in a dream,
climbing a mountian or down a small ravine.
The magic of this peace and quiet always shall stay,
to make this place a haven each and every day.
Oh how I wish I never had to leave,
and all my life such beauty to receive.
Now I know that God has made this world for me.
