From Here To There Eventually Lyrics


You've filled this house with things of gold
While handing crumbs to the old and poor
And then you preach about being pure
And wonder why we're laughingIn your old way you're trying to find us
But we can't follow what's behind us
Too much blind faith, it will blind us
Though sometimes it's a blessingBut I remember when I still embraced you
A little prayer would ease my mind
Till I saw that you hide
From the misery outside
So I left you behindBut all the other teachings
That I've tried were about the same
One grain of truth mixed
With confusion caused by man
Since you're around here anywayMay as well get you back on your feet again
Get right back up on your feet
Don't you know we need somebody to
Do some work down in the streetYou might just touch somebody

Start to think about today
Throw your robe and staff away
And break away from yesterdayAh, tell me can we reach you
I don't know
Still we got to go
From here to there eventuallyWhile others die up against the wall
You take the time to tell us all
'Bout how we're not supposed to ball
You really are a riotIt's got nothin' to do with Heaven or Hell
What I do in bed, I'm not gonna tell
What I'm talking about, you know dam well
You really ought to try itBut I remember when I still embraced you
A little prayer would ease my mind
Till I saw that you hide
From the misery outside
So I left you behindBut all the other teachings
That I've tried were about the same
One grain of truth mixed
With confusion caused by man
But since you're around here anywayMay as well get you back on your feet again
Get right back up on your feet
Don't you know we need somebody to
Do some work down in the streetYou might just touch somebody
Start to think about today
Throw your robe and staff away
And break away from yesterdayAh, tell me can we reach you
I don't know
Still we got to go
From here to there eventuallyWho, who, Jesus will save?
It's time we wait for
His [incomprehensible] you see
Who Jesus will save?He's coming back
And you better believe
He's coming back
Don't you believe me? Yeah

Steppenwolf is a rock band which formed in Los Angeles, California, United States in 1967. The band originally consisted of John Kay (vocals, guitar), Michael Monarch (guitar), Rushton Moreve (bass), Goldie McJohn (keyboards) and Jerry Edmonton (drums). The band is best known for their hit singles "Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride". They were named after the novel Der Steppenwolf by German author Hermann Hesse.

Frontman John Kay's mother escaped with him at age 4 from Soviet occupied East Germany, an event recounted in the song "Renegade" on the album Steppenwolf Seven. His family resettled in Hannover, West Germany, before moving to Canada in 1958. Kay is partially blind, hence the use of dark glasses

In 1968, Nick St. Nicholas replaced Moreve as bass player.

Steppenwolf had its origins in the Toronto blues band Sparrow, which was formed in 1964 and played coffeehouses in Yorkville. By 1967 they had settled in San Francisco.

Steppenwolf rocketed to fame after their third single, "Born to Be Wild" was used in the movie Easy Rider, as well as "The Pusher". The former song may have coined the term "heavy metal". This was followed by several more hits, including "Magic Carpet Ride" from Steppenwolf the Second, and "Rock Me" from At Your Birthday Party. Many fans consider their double album Steppenwolf Live [an extended single album in the UK] the best of Steppenwolf's releases. Monster and For Ladies Only were the band's most political albums, and are still fondly remembered by fans as two of the best rock & roll snapshots of the attitudes of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The band broke up in 1971, and Kay pursued a solo career. Steppenwolf reformed in 1974 with the album Slow Flux, and disbanded in 1976. Afterwards, several versions of the band toured North America until Kay reformed the official version of the group in 1980.

John Kay released a solo album in 2001.
