Once again Kris shows what a great poet he is. Such amazingly brilliant lyrics.

The Pilgrim; Chapter 33
------Kris Kristofferson
See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans,
wearin' yesterday's misfortunes like a smile--
Once he had a future full of money, love and dreams,
which he spent like they were goin' out of style--
And he keeps right on a'changin' for the better or the worse,
searchin' for a shrine he's never found--
Never knowin' if believin' is a blessin' or a curse,
Or if the goin' up was worth the comin' down--
He's a poet, he's a picker--
He's a prophet, he's a pusher--
He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned--
He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars,
And he's traded in tomorrow for today--
runnin' from his devils, Lord, and reachin' for the stars,
And losin' all he's loved along the way--
But if this world keeps right on turnin' for the better or the worse,
and all he ever gets is older and around--
From the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of the hearse,
the goin' up was worth the comin' down--
He's a poet, he's a liar--
He's a prophet, he's a dreamer--
He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned--
He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
And there's a lot of wrong directions on that lonely way back home.
Why chapter 33?
Just because he and some of his buddies, who had inspired him for the song, were of that age when Kris wrote this song...
Warum die 33?
Ganz einfach - Kris und auch ein paar Kumpels, über die er in seinem Song schreibt, waren da halt 33 Jahre alt...
The Pilgrim; Chapter 33
Seht ihn, betrunken auf dem Gehweg, in seiner Jacke und seinen Jeans,
das vergangene Unglück wie ein Lächeln tragend.
Er hatte mal eine Zukunft voller Geld, Liebe und Träumen,
die er ausgab, als wär sie aus der Mode gekommen.
Und er macht geradewegs weiter, es zum Besseren oder Schlechteren zu verändern
auf der Suche nach einem Heiligtum, das er nie gefunden hat.
Niemals wissend, ob der Glaube ein Heil oder ein Fluch ist,
oder ob der Aufstieg den Abgang wert war.
Er ist ein Poet, er ist ein Gitarrespieler,
er ist ein Prophet, er ist ein Dealer,
er ist ein Pilger und ein Prediger und ein Problem wenn er high ist
Er ist ein laufender Widerspruch, teils die Wahrheit und teils Fiktion,
und er nimmt jede falsche Richtung auf seinem einsamen Weg zurück nach Hause.
Er hat das Gute und das Böse ausprobiert in euren Schlafzimmern und in euren Bars,
und er hat das Morgen gegen das Heute eingetauscht,
um wegzulaufen vor seinen Teufeln und nach den Sternen zu greifen,
und auf seinem Weg alle zu verlieren, die er geliebt hat.
Aber wenn sich seine Welt weiterdreht und besser oder schlechter wird
und alles was er wird ist älter und erfahrener
Vom Schaukeln der Wiege bis zum Rollen des Leichenwagens-
Der Aufstieg war den Abgang wert.
Er ist ein Poet, er ist ein Lügner,
er ist ein Prophet, er ist ein Träumer,...
Und da gibt es viele falsche Richtungen auf diesem einsamen Weg zurück nach Hause...
There is no one like the multi-talented, kind-hearted, wise KK.
"Taxi Driver" surprised me for a lot of reasons, especially the great soundtrack and the fact that Travis tried to seduce Sybill Shepherd with a Kristofferson Album ! lol
That's one film that l identified with a couple of decades ago.. For all the wrong reasons. And this is what brought me here..
Was this in taxi driver,?
@@richardnamber813 It is mentioned when Travis brings Betsy to lunch. She calls him "partly true, partly fiction, a walking contradiction."
plyed this at my brothers funeral asked god for he words and chris wrote em thanks kris
"Taxi Driver" is a great film . "Alice " was great, and old Kris was in a BUNCH of great ones, including "Two Lane Blacktop," "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" and "A Star Is Born." His version of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" helped me and my family through a little bro's crisis...we also heard "Why Me, Lord?"
Wow. Always loved Kris K. It's only in my older years that I can better appreciate the lyrics to this musical poem. How often it is in life that becoming introspective we discern the contradictions in our lives. As a soul on my way to heaven, it's clear to see myself both as a saint and a sinner, a walking contradiction--ain't a one of us yet reached perfection. It's in living those contradictions that we finally learn what is best, what to avoid and what to pursue. Fame, popularity, ritz, glamour and wealth may seem what we want, but they never really satisfy. After 64 years, the only thing I've found that brings true contentment is a close relationship with my Creator. I've heard Kris talk about how Johnny Cash and June C.C. helped him see the light of the Gospel, although he didn't use those exact words to say it. Johnny only lived 6 months after June passed--sure wish we could hear Kris & Johnny sing together one more time.
You have plenty of song lyrics right here in this response. Particularly the line about being a saint and a sinner.
What a songwriter and I think, a good singer. seems like a humble sweet man.
WHAT A FABULOUS WRITER...JUST A ONE OF A KIND.
Along with everything else, KK shows a marvellous generosity of spirit in music like this.
Love Kris singing this version. The best for me is when he sings it with his daughter Kelly. The way they look at each other with love and pride is amazing.
I bought that movie just to find this scene lol That was a nice tribute to Kris. Kris had played in Scorsese's great movie "Alice doesn't live here anymore" before (1974)
What a talent! God gave this man a great deal of it.
I love Kris so much! So attractive and talented
cant believe this only gets 131 likes it deserves thousands
Taxi Driver
the greatest artist ever
Lucky enough to see this show two nights in a row at the Bottom Line in Manhattan NY that year. Truly
GREAT concert.
Oh wow, lucky you! Bet that were great memories.
Kris has been my favorite singer/songwriter since the first time I heard him back about '71 I think. This is still one of my two favorite songs...the other one being "To Beat the Devil" also by Kris. I had the good fortune to meet him about 8 years ago after seeing him in concert at the Capitol Theatre in Davenport, Iowa. He was the biggest reason that I started writing songs. Thanks, Kris...for inspiration, examination, pleasure and.....for being the conscience of my generation....
Love those lyrics. Nobody has ever said it better.
True, he's a wonderful lyricist. this song I'd never heard before till I saw K about a year ago and it has stayed with me....
Lucky you. Never heard him live, but totally identify with a lot of his lyrics. You don't have to be American to get it!
seeka32 No indeed... His voice is variable these days, but he was very good that night. you should try and see him if you can!
Never quite managed it, even when in the US! lucky you.
seeka32 I think he played London last year, I saw his name advertised, but I had seen him in late 2012. ..
Awesome!
Just the best the very very best
amazing, brought me through alot of stages in my life
best song writer of all time!!!!
Magnificent.
@alcest35 Thanks for commenting and for stopping by :-)
Happy Birthday from one old soldier to another.
LOVE this song, and Kris's writing. But just have to ask - Is that Billy Swan helping out on vocals?
Kris quoting Jackson....proof that Kris will always learn new thoughts.....
350 Views??? What an Insult!! "Amazing!"
75k now, Sir.
@stefoff I hope it'll get some more with the time...
Yep. That's me sir.
Maybe you are not correct about Kris' appearance in Two Lane Blacktop"? I've never heard or read that he played in that one. Warren Oates and the Beach Boys James Taylor and Dennis Wilson played in it as I've just googled. But Kris did play in great movies, I agree with you on that :-) I unfortunately don't know his version of "Will the circle be unbroken". Do you know where I can find it?
ORLANDO Florida , needs to make this their City Anthem.
¿How's it sound in Espanol?

I will take back those cells....
Taxi Driver.
Travis Bickel may not be a PUSHER but Cisco Pike certainly was
600
Who is this guy he's singing about?
Like if you’re here after Taxi Driver...
That's a classic, but don't recall it in the movie, but haven't seen Ina while
Is this song about Johnny cash?
it's about lots of Kris's buddies and about himself. In the original album song he mentions some of them with the intro. 33 is said to be the age of them
And 33 was also a Jesus' age when he was crucified!
There’s also some 33’s in freemasonry.
Great lyrics but not my style
