Performance
Unveiling the Poignant Tale of Resilience and Redemption in Aaron Neville's 'Performance'
Lyrics
Your performance is almost over
Your performance is coming to an end
When you're through I will take you home
After your performance, I will accompany you home
To a place where the water's always fresh and cool
To a serene place with fresh and cool water
I will lay you down, take off your shoes
I will gently lay you down and remove your shoes
Yes, it can, guess it's bound to take your place
Change is inevitable, and it seems your role is about to be taken over
Has that sad, almost crying look on your face
You wear a sad expression, almost crying
'Cause you knew you've done your best
You knew you did your best
Now, honey leave the rest to me and I'll take care of you
Leave the rest to me, and I'll take care of you
As I watch you fall down to your knees
Observing you fall to your knees
They don't know that you're praying to please
Others are unaware that you're praying to please
They don't see the little angel that you've backed with a star
They don't see the little angel within you, backed with a star
The only one who knows exactly who you are
You're the only one who truly knows yourself
? they don't understand
Others don't comprehend
And they cheer as you carry on your endless plan
People cheer as you continue with your endless plan
You are weary but you must, it's the only thing you trust
You are tired, but you continue because it's the only thing you trust
As you live, you got to give
In life, you must give as you live
Your performance is almost over
Your performance is reaching its conclusion
When you're through I will take you home
After it's done, I will take you home
Where it goes to I can see that, help your needs
Wherever it leads, I can see that and understand your needs
I'll take care of you
I will take care of you
'Cause you've done your best
Because you've given your best effort
Now, honey leave the rest to me
Leave the remaining challenges to me, and I'll care for you
And I'll take care of you
I will take care of you
