Lyrics
He is all dressed up, he is ready to go
He is all dressed up, he has nothing to do
And he is waiting on a friend go going somewhere
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
If he was young again this is what he'd be
If he was young again this is what he'd do
And he's waiting on a friend called inspiration
He's waiting like me and he's waiting like you
Could you help me out Mr. inspiration
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 have something to say
To an ordinary man on an ordinary day
So let's stop waiting for tomorrow
Tomorrow has become today
And heaven is hidden, hope's not far away
It's there within our bright-eyed wonder
It's found within life's tragedy
Sometimes our life's so hard it just ain't ___
God's got a hold on me
He is older now and he's getting wiser
And he's wiser now cause there's nothing new
He 's had a thousand fortune tellers
He's had 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
To an ordinary man on an ordinary day
