Browne Jackson For Everyman Lyrics

For Everyman Lyrics

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



That 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



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



To get it together



Where with a few of my friends I could give up the race



And maybe find something better



But all my fine dreams



Well though out schemes to gain the motherland



Have all eventually come down to waiting for Everyman



Waiting here for Everyman--



Make it on your own if you think you can



If you see somewhere to go I understand



Waiting here for Everyman--



Don't ask me if he'll show -- baby I don't know



Make it on your own if you think you can



Somewhere later on you'll have to take a stand



Then you're going to need a hand



Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one



You can give them the answers



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



Where sweet childhood still dances



Who'll come along



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



Long ago I heard someone say something 'bout Everyman



Waiting here for Everyman--



Make it on your own if you think you can



If you see somewhere to go I 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
