Bob Seger — Rite of Passage

[Verse 1] It's the age of reason for the anarchist It's a change of venue for the lobbyist It's a dream of justice buried in the grist [Verse 2] It's a secret briefing based on need to know It's a condescending rationale from command control Feel the sense of wonder at the overthrow [Verse 3] It's a rite of passage through a hurricane Through a rolling thunder, through a screaming rain Hear the shriek of Abel, hear the cry of Cain [Bridge] And Abraham will take his son Five billion years from now the cruelty will be done [Verse 3] Make a destination of the greater truth Make 'em hang their heads and eat their words When you find the proof This is all you're given, it's your only move [Verse 4] It's a rite of passage for the everyman To a higher ground. to a brighter light, to a promised land You can feel the power of the master's hand [Outro] It's a rite of passage It's a rite of passage It's a rite of passage It's a rite of passage It's a rite of passage It's a rite of passage
