Long ago I heard someone say something 'bout everyman
Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one
Where with a few of my friends I could give up the race
Lead them back to that place in the warmth of the sun
Seems like I've always been looking for some other place to get it together
Standing alone each has his own ticket in his hand
That they've heard their last warning
Somewhere later on you'll have to take a stand
I'm not trying to tell you that I've seen the plan
Where sweet childhood still dances
Who can give them the answers
Turn and walk away if you think I am
Make it on your own if you think you can
If you see somewhere to go I understand
If you see somewhere to go I understand
And as the evening descends I sit thinking 'bout everyman
Who'll come along and hold out that strong and gentle father's hand?
Waiting here for everyman
Don't ask me if he'll show baby I don't know
Then you're going to need a hand
Waiting here for everyman
Waiting here for everyman
But all my fine dreams well though out schemes to gain the motherland
Make it on your own if you think you can
Have all eventually come down to waiting for everyman
But don't think too badly of one who's left holding sand
Maybe find something better
Make it on your own, make it if you think you can
