Written by: Kerry Livgren

Artist: Kansas

Album: Monolith

Released in: 1979

Lyrics: So long, someone is waiting

I got places to go, I got things to see

No more procrastinating

For this is the moment that was meant for me

And I'm moving like a wave on the ocean

Drifting to the opposite side

Traveling with no destination

Just riding the tide

People they say that I'm foolish

They say that I'm living in a fantasy

Well I say, everything's easy

It's better than living in futility

So, I'm standing here in back of the curtain

Waiting for the start of the show

Acting like an actor is easy

If you can let go

Someday something will find you

A magical feeling you could not foresee

A feeling so devastating

From that moment on your life's a comedy

And suddenly you're light as a feather

You're falling like a leaf from a tree

The things you thought you needed are fading

Your reason to be

Kerry wrote this song after his acceptance of our Lord and Savoir into HIS life. His witness for those willing to listen. And going against the grain of this song: When will the idiots who are the gatekeepers for the RnR HOF vote Kansas in?Someday something will find youA magical feeling you could not foreseeA feeling so devastatingFrom that moment on your life's a comedyAnd suddenly you're light as a featherYou're falling like a leaf from a treeThe things you thought you needed are fadingYour reason to be

I won this album at the Jersey shore on a wheel of chance. Played it over and over and over on my record player... Fantastic! So sad for the people who have lost everything from Sandy...

@flipwiggins I too saw them at least that long ago in St. Louis, then miraculously they came to my own little small town for our fair. Twice they came in fact! I went to only one, but how awesome is that? For a little small town (they ain't has beens) Great as ever!!

In 1981 I convinced other classmates to use this song as the "Senior Prom Theme Song". I was probably the only one that knew the song, but it seemed to go over well. I remember the band that did it had to look very closely at the music because you could tell they just learned it. That was my great high school moment in the spot light.
