(This isn't)
The wedding is over
(This is it)
The waiting is over
The backing vocals, noted by the parentheses, were provided by Michael McDonald.
For once in the night, America.
Stand up and fight.
Dit dit!
For once in your life, here's your miracle.
Stand up and fight.
This is it!
Here's your mail call
Here's your miracle
How are you gonna wait for a sight
Your miracle
Stand up and try
How are you gonna wait for a sign
Your miracle
Stand up and fight
I'm in a daze, stoned and amazed by your urban ways
I'm in a daze, stunned and amazed by your open ways
I've been wandering - why?
I've been wondering why
One more raisin to try
One more reason to try
One more reason to drive
or
One more reason to ride
(later)
Nowhere to hide
One more reason to try
(later)
No way to hide
The wedding is over.
The waiting is over.
There's been times in my mind
There been times in my life
This craving is over
The waiting is over
This is grits!
This is it!
You got no burden
You're going no further
You're going to murder
You're going no further
