Rite Of Passage

Words and music by bob seger



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



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



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



And abraham will take his son

Five billion years from now the cruelty will be done



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



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



It's a rite of passage
