Once more with feeling, and once more (once more) for the band Stumble through the stages of a song Fumble with the phrases I've been counting on For so long to get by And 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 (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, (once more by your hand) And like a tune that's never fading, play through me again Once more with feeling, And once more for the band (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 And 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 (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, (once more by your hand) And like a tune that's never fading, play through me again Once more with feeling, and once more for the band Alright Let's hear it once more for the band Once more
