Poet, priest, and visionary rallied to the call

The will of humankind defied them all

Coveting the gold and silver idols of success

Only to perpetuate duress

Hastily upturned to clear the land
[Chorus]

Now I ain't going to claim to be the second son

And it goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on

Now I ain't going to cast the first stone, you see

I love my follow man

And I love what he could be
Bm E Bm G Bm
But it goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on
