And the Band Played On

Did you hear Gabriel blow his horn?

Then what sent those blackbirds on the wing?

Into this house, we were born to leave

Like an arrow shot over the mountain

Like a bottle tossed in the sea

I have journeyed, I have traveled

Now home calls me

Let's all gather round the grand piano

Let's all raise our glasses in the air

Give a cheer to the jolly good fellow

And everyone who's cared

Who will mend this wagon wheel

To put this show on the road?

The music sounds just like it feels

Like an arrow shot over the mountain

Like a bottle tossed in the sea

I have journeyed, I have traveled

Now home calls me

Let's all gather round the grand piano

Let's all raise our glasses in the air

Give a cheer to the jolly good fellow

And everyone who's cared

And the band played on

Through the storm

Through the wicked, wicked rain

And the band played on

In golden harmony

What straw will break this camel's back?

Will we grow to love the load?

Can't wait to be what time reveals

Let's all gather round the grand piano

Let's all raise our glasses in the air

Give a cheer to the jolly good fellow

Everyone who's cared

Well, everyone who's cared

Oh, oh, everyone who's cared, oh
