Going For The One Lyrics
Artist: Yes
Album: Going for the One
(Anderson)
Get the idea cross around the track
underneath the flank of thoroughbred racing chasers.
Getting the feel as a river flows.
Would youlike to go 'n shoot the mountain masses?
And here you stand no taller than the grass sees.
And should you really chase so hard.
The truth of sport plays rings around you.
Going for the one
Going for the one
Get in the way as the tons of water
racing with you crashing thru the rudder.
Once at the start you can gamble
that you really surely really mean to finish.
After seeing all your sense of fear diminish.
As you treat danger a pure collection.
As you throw away misconceptions.
Going for the one.
Going for the one.
Going for a

taken so high
to touch to move
listen to life
touching touch time
travel twilight
taken so high.
Roundabout, sounding out, love you so
love you so
love you so
Now the verses I've sang
don't add much weight to the story in my head
so I'm thinking I should go and write a punch line.
But they're so hard to find
in my cosmic mind
so I think I'll take a look out of the window.
When I think about you
I don't feel low.
N'should I really chase so hard.
The truth of sport plays rings around you.
Going for the one.
Going for the one.

rocking rolling
Moments decide.
Moments delight.
Moments in flight.
Talk about sending love.

Comments/Interpretations
Yet another Yes classic with absolutely meaningless lyrics whose words nevertheless take on some kind of impossible grandeur, and melody that you can sing along to at the top of your lungs. And this tune rocks like no other, from the opening slide guitar riff it is a rush all the way through.
Not only has this song haunted me for 30+ years,but so has the message of the lyrics. Great stuff.
