Stumble through the stages of the song
Fumble with the phrases I've been counting on for so long to get by
Feeling they apply to everyone but me
Jesus, I have stared so hard into the light
My vision isn't what it used to be

But, with every ounce of strength, I'm saving the best until the end
Once more with feeling, and once more by your hand
And, like a turn that's never fading, play through me again
Once more with feeling, and once more for the band

Painted from the praises I suppose
Framing every face I ever dared to show
It all goes by so fast
Here I am at last, waking from these dreams
Jesus, I have listened to the crowds so long, it's hard to hear your voice above the screams

But, with every ounce of strength, I'm saving the best until the end
Once more with feeling, and once more by your hand
And, like a turn that's never fading, play through me again
Once more with feeling, and once more for the band

And, like a turn that's never fading, play through me again
Once more with feeling, and once more for the band

Lord, once more with feeling, and once more...once more for the band
