He's waiting like me and he's waiting like you
Could you help me out, Mr. Going Somewhere?
Could you come down here to my dwelling place?
Your voice is loud, but your words are empty
I'll be waiting right here if you got something to say
To an ordinary man on an ordinary day

So let's stop waiting for tomorrow
Tomorrow has become today
And Heaven's hidden, hope's not far away
It's there within our bright-eyed wonder
It's found within life's tragedy
Sometimes I laugh so hard, it just takes ahold on me
(God's got ahold on me)

He has heard a thousand fortune tellers
He has heard them all like me and you
Could you help me out, Mr. Fortune Teller?
Could you come down here to my dwelling place?
Your voice is loud, but your words are empty
I'll be waiting right here if you've got something to say
