For Everyman — текст песни (Jackson Browne)

Everybody I talk to is ready to leave

With the light of the morning

Theyve seen the end coming down long enough to believe

That theyve 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 Ive 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--

Dont ask me if hell show -- baby I dont know



Make it on your own if you think you can

Somewhere later on youll have to take a stand

Then youre going to need a hand



Everybodys just waiting to hear from the one

Who can give them the answers

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

Where sweet childhood still dances

Wholl come along

And hold out that strong and gentle fathers 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



Im not trying to tell you that Ive seen the plan

Turn and walk away if you think I am--

But dont think too badly of one whos left holding sand

Hes just another dreamer, dreaming bout everyman
