For everyman de Jackson Browne

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
yo 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
who 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
