The standard was flown thought the battle was won
The band was raging in tune
You pressed on my hand and said come on along
And led me into your cocoon
Well I figured at once that the whole world could see
With your lantern a-shining up stairs
And you smiled at me as you laid out the spread
And you held out your portion to share
All the way, all the way
Won't you show me the way
When the peasants and pirates have traded the day
All the way, all the way
Well I heard that grace is right there in everyone
Guess he'll show up some day
What I see now is a halo standing right there in front of me
I got no right to say
All the way, all the way
Won't you show me the way
When the peasants and pirates have traded the day
All the way, all the way
All the way, all the way
Won't you show me the way
When the peasants and pirates have traded the day
All the way, all the way
Well I stopped the clock there and I raced for the door
When you told me a secret you'd saved
When heaven and earth are reversed in humility
We're gonna see a new day
All the way, all the way
Won't you show me the way
When the peasants and pirates have traded the day
All the way, all the way
What you see there, there in everyone
We will celebrate one of these days
Speak, yes even when you're alone
Find your voice now be brave
Then you poked me quite suddenly right there in my never mind
That's a metaphor you know
With the seed and the candle the handle is turned
Watch the melody flow
All the way, all the way
Won't you show me the way
When the peasants and pirates have traded the day
All the way, all the way
There is a secret sitting right there, right there in everyone
Right there in plain sight today
And an angel just showed me the path to my own one
It just made me to say
All the way, all the way
Won't you show me the way
When the peasants and pirates have traded the day
All the way, all the way
