Get Off This Bus

“It is right and it is just—because he must!”—Henry Miller

Everyone’s got it

Everyone’s got a reason

That we don’t know

But we know that they’ve got it

‘Cause everyone needs a reason

To keep on going

We think we don’t show it

But we’re glowing with it every moment

That we keep going

We go without knowing

Exactly when or where the road we’re on

Is gonna be done

But it’s gonna be done

I wait for a signal

I stand in line and wait my turn to get

A glimpse of a sign

I hint or a vision

A trigger I can figure that tells me

That the time is mine

To do what I’ve got to

And make a move that breaks through to

The next side of my life

The side that’s been hiding

And waiting for me to get it right

Now the time has arrived

It’s like the turning of the tides

When you know you got it right

This time

And you know you got it right

‘Cause you’re feeling so alive

And light

And the chime you feel inside

Is rhyming with the light

Outside

Outside and inside

There’s something I trust

Something that tells me I must

Get off of this bus

It’s right and it’s just

It’s right and it’s just

Because I know that I must

Get off of this bus

Get off of this bus

And watch it ride off in the dust

‘Cause I’ve had enough

I’ve had enough and I know

This world is a bluff

This world is a bluff
