Story behind the song
I read John Bunyan's book "The Pilgrim's Progress" several years ago and I have been in love with it ever since. He nailed the Christian walk in all it's aspects. This is the part of the book where Christian and Faithful go through the town of Vanity and visit the fair that goes on all year long.
Lyrics
The Fair At Vanity First Verse We were makin' our way down the straight and narrow When we came upon a sign that said 'Welcome to Vanity' They have a Fair that goes on the year 'round The people there invited us to see Chorus We went to the Fair at Vanity What a circus it turned out to be There were people there with worldly minds They were doin' what was right in their own eyes We told them of a better way Most wouldn't listen to a word we had to say They thought that they had all they'd ever need At the Fair at Vanity Second Verse It didn't take long to see that things were different Than the One that we follow had Designed them to be They locked us up thinking we were a danger Then they took the life of the faithful friend with me Repeat Chorus Bridge Now Faithful was carried to Heaven I barely escaped with my life My pilgrimage is in progress And the Fair's goin' on For a little while, for a little while Repeat Chorus
