(Emerson/Lake)
|
Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the air
|
About an age of power where no one had an hour to spare,
|
Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered, in the cold
|
Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold.
|
I'll be there
|
I'll be there
|
I will be there.
|
|
Suffering in silence, they've all been betrayed.
|
They hurt them and they beat them, in a terrible way,
|
Praying for survival at the end of the day.
|
There is no compassion for those who stay.
|
I'll be there
|
I'll be there
|
I will be there.
|
|
There must be someone who can set them free:
|
To take their sorrow from this odyssey
|
To help the helpless and the refugee
|
To protect what's left of humanity.
|
Can't you see
|
Can't you see
|
Can't you see.
|
|
I'll be there
|
I'll be there
|
I will be there;
|
To heal their sorrow
|
To beg and borrow
|
Fight tommorow.
|
|
Step inside! Hello! We've the most amazing show
|
You'll enjoy it all we know
|
Step inside! Step Inside!
|
|
We've got thrills and shocks, supersonic fighting cocks.
|
Leave your hammers at the box
|
Come Inside! Come Inside!
|
Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!
|
See the show!
|
|
Left behind the bars, rows of Bishops' heads in jars
|
and a bomb inside a car
|
Spectacular! Spectacular!
|
|
If you follow me there's a speciality
|
some tears for you to see
|
Misery, misery,
|
Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!
|
See the show!
|
|
Next upon the bill in our House of Vaudeville
|
We've a stripper in a till
|
What a thrill! What a thrill!
|
And not content with that, with our hands behind our backs,
|
We pull Jesus from a hat,
|
Get into that! Get into that!
|
Roll up! Roll up! Roll up!
|
See the show!
