Going All The Way Is Just The Start (a song in 6 movements)
\"Going All The Way Is Just The Start (A Song In 6 Movements)\" (feat. Ellen Foley & Karla Devito)
[Meat Loaf:] Sometimes it's the night And the way it seems to cry And whisper terrifying secrets in your ear Sometimes it's the day And the sun has got no mercy Lighting up and burning everything that's in its way
There are times I've gotta run Times I've gotta hide Things I've left undone Things I've cast aside So many things to try So many things denied If I ever tell you the truth I'd swear you would leave me I need the proof That you would believe me
[Karla DeVito:] You think I fly like an angel without any tears Higher and higher, above the world and all its fears
[Ellen Foley:] Everybody's ready to fly But the storms are never so very far
[Karla & Ellen:] And you think my life is shining like a star But the fears are never very far And
[All:] We always seem so much braver than we ever are We always dream we seem braver but we never are Karla & Ellen: Let's run away Let's go so far
[Meat Loaf:] There are secrets I never can tell There are shadows of darkness and heaven There are so many suburbs of hell And their hours are 24/7
There are so many wounds you can't heal So many nightmares are turning too real So much of paradise lost and you added the cost But there's nothing to be sorry for Now we can feel so much more Now we can be loving you Nothing that we're scared to do
[Ellen:] You see me smile and you swear that I could walk on air You see me dancing, the moonlight glancing at my hair You see me as powerfully strong But the nightmare's never so very far
[Karla:] And you think my life is shining like a star But the tears are never very far! The fears are never very far! And
[All:] We always seem so much braver than we ever are We always seem to be braver but we never are
[Karla & Ellen:] Let's fly away Let's go too far
[Karla:] Sometimes it's the flesh And the way it seems to yearn For all the magic of the single perfect touch
[Ellen:] Sometimes it's the soul And it's waiting for salvation You'll know when you get it There can never be too much
[Karla & Ellen:] There are times I've gotta run Times I've gotta hide Things I've left undone Things I've cast aside So many things to try So many things denied If I ever tell you the truth Would you ever believe me? Show me the proof I'm so scared you would leave me
[Meat Loaf:] You think I fly like an angel without any care Higher and higher, as if I'm breathing sacred air
[Meat Loaf & Karla:] Everybody's ready to fly But the storms are never so very far And you think my life is shining like a star But the fears are never very far Or the nightmare's never very far And
[All:] We always seem so much braver than we ever are We always dream we seem braver but we never are Let's run away Let's go too far
[Ellen:] Say a prayer for those who crawl Say a prayer for those who run Say a prayer so all and all There's a better life to come
(we always seem so much braver than we ever are)
[Meat Loaf:] Say a prayer for those alone Say a prayer for those apart All the golden boys and girls The crusaders of the heart
(we always dream we'd be braver but we never are)
[Karla:] Say a prayer for all the lost Say a prayer for the unborn Say a prayer for all the young It takes a fire to keep them warm
[Meat Loaf:] Say a prayer for those obsessed Say a prayer for those enslaved Say a prayer to beat the drums From the cradle to the grave
[Meat Loaf & Ellen:] Say a prayer for all the saints Say a prayer for all the sins Let the dancing never end Let the future now begin
[Meat Loaf & Karla:] Say a prayer to all the gods Some are near and some are far Say a prayer to all the gods To make us braver than we are
[Meat Loaf & Ellen:] How far is too far baby? Come on and take me, take me! We're crusaders of the heart And going all the way is just the start
[Karla:] The crusaders of the heart
[Ellen:] How far is too far? How far is too far, baby?
[Meat Loaf & Ellen:] Take me deep inside the heart And going all the way is just the start
[Ellen:] How far is too far baby?
[Meat Loaf & Ellen:] Come on and take me, take me! We're crusaders of the heart And going all the way is just the start
[Karla:] The crusaders of the heart
(say a prayer) (say a prayer)
[Meat Loaf & Ellen:] Going all the way is just the start
[Karla:] Make us braver than we are
[Meat Loaf:] There's no such thing as too far
[Meat Loaf & Ellen:] I've got to be where you are Going all the way is just the start
[Karla:] The crusaders of the heart
[Ellen:] How far is too far? [Meat Loaf:] I've got to be where you are [Meat Loaf & Ellen:] Going all the way is just the start [Karla:] Make us braver than we are
(we always seem so much braver than we ever are)
[All:] How far is too far baby? Come on and take me, take me! We're crusaders of the heart And going all the way is just the start
(we always dream we'd be braver but we never are)
How far is too far? How far is too far, baby? Take me deep inside the heart And going all the way is just the start
(we always seem so much braver than we ever are)
How far is too far baby? Come on and take me, take me! We're crusaders of the heart And going all the way is just the start
(we always dream we'd be braver but we never are)
How far is too far? How far is too far, baby? Take me deep inside the heart And going all the way is just the start
Say a prayer to all the gods Some are near and some are far Say a prayer to all the gods To make us braver than we are
Say a prayer to all the gods Some are near and some are far Say a prayer to all the gods To make us braver than we are
