The Calling

Well, tell me, friends
Do you know the names
Of the people rising up to fame?
Can you let me know who's that just getting by?
Can you pull me to the top?
Would you send me in the sky?
Oh, yes, here it comes again
Before you rest your feet
You have to play the game
Well, I'll beat the door that bears my name

You hear the thunder, on past the pouring rain
And you start to wonder, oh, is this the calling?

Have you met the man bound up in chains?
When he turns his back, escaping from the pain
Is his destiny to watch his world collide
In a tranquil sense of hope or into a vast divine?
Oh, yes, here it comes again
Before you rest your feet
You have to play the game
Will I reach the door that bears my name?

And you hear the thunder, on past the pouring rain
And you start to wonder, oh, is this the calling?
I hear the thunder, on past the pouring rain
And you start to wonder
Yes, I know it's just the calling

You hear the thunder, on past the pouring rain
And you start to wonder, oh, is this the calling?

Well, tell me, friends
Do you know the names
Of the people rising up to fame?
Can you let me know who's that just get by?
Will you pull me to the top?
Would you send me in the sky?
Oh, yes, here it goes again
Before you rest your feet
You have to play the game
Well, I'll reach the door that bears my name?

And you hear the thunder, on past the pouring rain
And you start to wonder, oh, is this the calling?
I hear the thunder, on past the pouring rain
And start to wonder
Yes, I know it's just the calling
