Set Me In Motion Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

Sit there with a blank expression 

Say you can't go on anymore 

It's not like me to come out and help you 

Maybe I've been down this road before 

Been living in the shadows, now you come out slow 

Now you're in the saddle, got to ride a long 

Now you're dream was shattered, these days are through 

Maybe something mattered, it's not just for you 

Some are gonna go for broke, some are gonna lay down 

I've been too long standing still 

All I know is whenever you need me 

You reach out and set me in motion 

Looking out on that long valley 

And telling me I've come so far 

You're the reason I finally got there 

You're the reason it's been so hard 

Been living in the shadows, now you hear the call 

Now you're in the saddle, you got to ride or fall 

Now you push a little harder like I showed you to 

There's a day you'll be calling and I'll look to you, you 

Some are gonna go for broke, some will lay down 

I've been too long standing still 

All I know is whenever you need me 

You reach out and set me in motion 

Some are gonna go for broke, some will lay down 

I've been too long standing still 

All I know is whenever you need me 

You reach out and set me in motion 

Some are gonna go for broke, some will lay down 

I've been too long standing still 

I'll pick you up whenever you stumble 

You reach out and set me in motion 

Hey hey hey oh oh oh 

I've been too long standing still 

I'll pick you up whenever you stumble
