Offering/Ticket To Ride Lyrics Page

INVOCATION For those whose eyes would see Render them in faith to me For all those seeking peace In my arms your strife shall cease And place in me the agony you bear Nothing can impair The perfect love I bring In a simple offering

YOUR WONDERFUL PARADE Ladies and gentlemen! May I direct your attention to the center ring where hollow princes and shallow kings perform their tricks while justice swings side to side. And may I remind you once again, of the spectacle about to begin, now forming at the darkest end of the big top. Don't forget to take yourplace in line, leave your mind behind, and join the procession of the people, by the people, and for the people, your own wonderful parade! Your wonderful parade Moving through the towns that rise and then they fade Over streets that pass the houses where you've stayed Your wonderful parade Your daily masquerade Paper masks that hide mistakes that you have made Crumble down upon foundations that you've laid Your daily masquerade Stand in line, try to climb, meet your wife at cocktail time You're sure to lose so try and choose a better way to fall Your marvelous charade Never could be worth the prices that you've paid Blindness is a part of every game you've played Your marvelous charade Your wonderful parade Stand in line, try to climb, meet your wife at cocktail time You're sure to lose so try and choose a better way to fall Your marvelous charade Never could be worth the prices that you've paid Blindness is a part of every game you've played Your marvelous charade Your daily masquerade, your wonderful parade

SOMEDAY Someday, rested from hours of sleeping We'll stay safely behind what we're keeping You'll seem warmer than I had remembered you Lying so close I'll be able to feel you breathe I could never leave One day when I am able to love you I'll come back from wherever I've been to I'll see you looking the same as you always have Lovely, so lovely I'll cling to the love you give So I'll start to live Someday is coming if I beleive it Someday always brings the good life you knew ever back to you Oh, I need you Someday, all I can give you is someday Someday, all I can offer is someday Please say that you'll be waiting when someday comes Promise me this and a kiss To keep what you are always close to me instrumental break Oh, I need you Someday, all I can give you is someday Someday, all I can offer is someday Please say that you'll be waiting when someday comes Promise me this and a kiss To keep what you are always close to me Someday

GET TOGETHER Love is but the song we sing Fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring or hear the angels cry Though the dove is on the wing You need not know why Come on people now Smile on your brother, everybody get together Love one another right now Some will come and some will go This will surely pass When the One who left us here returns for us at last We are but a moments's sunlight fading in the grass Come on people now Smile on your brother, everybody get together Love one another right now If you hear the song we sing you will understand You hold the key to love and fear It's in your trembling hand When key unlocks them both you know it's at your command Come on people now Smile on your brother, everybody get together Love one another right now And love one another right now Love one another right now

ALL OF MY LIFE All of my life I have been waiting for just one boy And all of my life I have been waiting for all the joy Of having someone that I can call my own Who'll come to my side when I am all alone And now you are here and I've found a whole new world has opened for me A world filled with joy, a world filled with all your love, eternally For you say you're mine, you'll love me all the time, night and day, come what may And all of my life you will be my own instrumental break I just want someone that I can call my own Who'll come to my side when I am all alone And now you are here and I've found a whole new world has opened for me A world filled with joy, a world filled with all your love, eternally For you say you're mine And you'll love me all the time, night and day, come what may And all of my life you will be my own You will be my own

TURN AWAY I guess you know what it's all about All the answers seem so clear to you You know just exactly what you want to do And never allow feeling of doubt I guess you've seen where your road can lead And all the pain that you have in store For now you have just to lock every door And find on your own what you think you need Turn away Find the way on your own I'll be here waiting here to say: Turn away Find the way on your own I'll still be calling your name And if I try to show you how Tomorrow is never is like yesterday Would you change your mind and see things my way? Or are you afraid that I'll bring you down? Turn away Find the way on your own I'll be here waiting here to say: Turn away Fine the way on your own I'll still be calling your name

WHAT'S THE USE? Gettin' away from all the things that need doin' Lazily here to lose the afternoon Lyin' around Here on the ground Is as close to gettin' up as I can go Takin' the chance to free myslef from my worries Cover them well enough that no one sees Nobody knows Until they show Then the only thing to do is try to cover them again Hurry youself, what's the use? Mountains of wealth I refuse to be somebody's slave for a dime I've got plenty of mountains I'm lookin' to climb Spendin' my time instrumental break Lyin' aorund Here on the ground Is as close to gettin' up as I can go Pleasin' myself is all that really needs doin' Everything else begins but never ends Listen to me And you'll agree That a man is better off if he has come to realize Hurry yourself, what's the use? Mountains of wealth I refuse to be somebody's slave for a dime I've got plenty of mountains I'm lookin' to climb Spendin' my time Hurry youself, what's the use? Mountains of wealth I refuse to be somebody's slave for a dime I've got plenty of mountains I'm lookin' to climb Spendin' my time

ALL I CAN DO Yesterday I thought you'd stay I thought you'd see it my way But now I see my hopes may be dead I should have known when you said I was the one you wanted Wanting meant nothing more than today All I can do is cry over you and hope you'll return someday All I can do is cry over you ever since you've gone away instrumental break Every road that I follow leaves me with no tomorrow I need someone to show me the way All I can do is cry over you and hope you'll return someday All I can do is cry over you ever since you've gone away

EVE Eve, I can't believe that you could mean what you just said Think of what you are How very far you are from being real Look into the mirror Nothing there to see Eve, I can't beleive you'd really leave him Notice how her image saddens How lonely she's become Just once I'd like to see her happy Before the winter comes Eve, I wouldn't lie The open sky is not your home Wide as it may be reality is here among the stones Thorns among the roses add to what is real Eve, you are a rose among the thorns here Notice how her image saddens How lonely she's become Just once I'd like to see her happy Before the winter comes I wish her only good times Before the winter comes

NOWADAYS CLANCY CAN'T EVEN SING Sing, sing Who's that stompin' all over my face? Where's that sillhouette I'm tryin' to trace? And who's put the sponge in the bells I once rung? And takin' my gypsy before she's begun? Just singin' and dreamin' of what's in my mind 'For I can take home what's rightfully mine Joinin' and listenin' and talkin' in rhyme Stoppin' the feelin' to wait for the time Who's sane, baby? That don't mean a thing Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing Sing, sing Who's all hung up on that happiness thing? Who's tryin' to tune all the bells they ring? And who's in the corner and down on the floor, With pencil and paper just countin' the score Who's tryin' to act like he's just in between? The night isn't black if you know that it's green Don't bother lookin', you're too blind to see Whose comin' on like he wanted to be? Who's sane, baby? That don't mean a thing Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing Sing, sing Who's comin' home on old 9 to 5? Who's got the feelin' here to keep him alive? Though havin' it, sharin' it, ain't quite the same You paint a gold nugget, you can't lay a claim Who's seein' eyes through the cracks in the floor? Buried it, baby, don't you worry no more Who should be sleeping but's writin' this song? Wishin' and hopin' he weren't so damned wrong Who's sane, baby? That don't mean a thing Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing Who's sane, baby? That don't mean a thing Cause nowadays Clancy can't even sing Sing, can't even sing

BENEDICTION Unto you in the voice of love Through the songs we sing An offering
