For Everyman

[Verse 1]

Everybody I talk to is ready to leave

With the light of the morning

They've seen the end coming down long enough to believe

They've heard their last warning

Standing alone

Each has his own ticket in his hand

And as the evening descends

I sit thinking 'bout Everyman

[Verse 2]

Seems like I've always been looking for some other place

Just to get it together

With a few of my friends I could give up the race

Maybe find something better

But all my fine dreams

Well thought out schemes to gain the motherland

Have all eventually come down to just waiting for Everyman

[Chorus]

Waiting here for Everyman

Make it on your own if you think you can

If you see somewhere to go

I will understand

Waiting here for Everyman

Don't ask me if he'll show

Baby, I don't know

[Bridge]

Make it on your own if you think you can

Somewhere later on you'll have to take a stand

Then you're gonna need a hand

[Verse 3]

Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one

Who can give them the answer

And lead them back to that place in the warmth of the sun

Where sweet childhood dances

Who'll come along

And hold out that strong but gentle father's hand?

Long ago I heard someone say something about Everyman

[Chorus]

Waiting here for Everyman

Make it on your own if you think you can

If you see somewhere to go

I'll understand

I'm not trying to tell you that I've seen the plan

Turn and walk away if you think I am

But don't think too badly of one who's left holding sand

He's just another dreamer, dreaming 'bout Everyman
