Everybody's in a hurry - everyone is on the clock

Always rushing forward never realizing what they've got

I'm still sitting all alone here waiting for the world to stop

Trying to figure out which friends are real or not

When the old man says to me

"You've gotta be somebody - You've gotta be someone

You'll get tired of tripping over all the stupid things you've done

You've gotta be somebody - gotta be someone

Time to turn those eyes inside"

Mother moonlight I'm so tired - help me find my way

Sister sunshine give me strength - see me through another day

Father figure hold me close - keep me in your thoughts when you pray

And surely as the hillsides vanish I've taken on another train

I just want to get there so I know I won't be alone again

You might think I'm crazy but security's a treasured find

And I would trade the journey for some peace of mind

Still the old man says to me

"You've gotta be somebody - You've gotta be someone

Aren't you tired of tripping over all the stupid things you've done?

You've gotta be somebody - gotta be someone

Better turn those eyes inside"

Mother moonlight I'm so tired - help me find my way

Sister sunshine give me strength - see me through another day

Father figure hold me close - keep me in your thoughts when you pray

When you pray...
