For the wind, it wanes and dies, the children are mute and bare.
The crimes left unperfected, the game pinned down is fair,
Promises half kept, porches unswept, peaceful slumber unslept, unfair.
There are no losers or winners here, because everyone's halfway there.

 

Halfway There!
You're not there yet, it's coming to you!
There you're not there yet, it's coming soon!
There you're not there yet, whatcha gonna do!
There you're not there yet, join our tune!

 

Who can finish this race, this quest to call it square?
I know not, cause in the end the soul is worse for wear.
The small little rip right from the start has now become a tear.
In a world that's been around so long, we're still just halfway there.

 

Halfway There!
You're not there yet, it's coming to you!
There you're not there yet, it's coming soon!
There you're not there yet, whatcha gonna do!
There you're not there yet, join our tune!

 

The end is drawing near, a common phrase we share,
But for each mile we traverse, there's another yet to dare,
For each and every pain we suffer, there's still one more to bear,
So when we think that it's all over, we're really halfway there.

Slowing Down
Soon we say, it will all end, soon the foul turns fair,
But sooner than that we realize, that we don't even care,
Whether or not we finish, it's the journey we all share,
That makes us bond together, though we're only halfway there.

The wind blows and howls, pierce the still stare,
The wind wanes and dies, we're mute and bare.
No one will finish, the soul's worse for wear.
A common phrase, there's still more to dare!

 

Cause... you're... half...way... THERE!
You're not there yet, it's coming to you!
There you're not there yet, it's coming soon!
There you're not there yet, whatcha gonna do!
There you're not there yet, join our tune!

 

There you're not there yet, it's coming to you!
There you're not there yet, it's coming soon!
There you're not there yet, whatcha gonna do!
There you're not there yet, join our tune! I said join our tune, now join or tune!

Half...way... THERE!
You're not there yet, it's coming to you!
There you're not there yet, it's coming soon!
There you're not there yet, whatcha gonna do!
There you're not there yet, that's... our... tune!
