Estimated Prophet (Live at Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey, September 3, 1977) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
Been so long I felt this way
But I'm in no hurry, no
Rainbows end down that highway
Where ocean breezes blow
My time coming, the voices say
And they tell me where I'll go

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
And ain't in no hurry
No, no, I know where I'll go

[Chorus]
California
Preaching on the burning shore
California
I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise
I know I'm gonna shine
[Verse 2]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
It's gonna be just like they say
Them voices tell me so
Seemed so long I felt this way
But I'm in no hurry, no
My time coming is what they say
And they tell me where I'll go

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
And I'm in no hurry
No, no, I know where I'll go

[Chorus]
California
A prophet on the burning shore
California
I'll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel
Standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise
I know I'm gonna shine
[Bridge]
Now, you've all been asleep, you would not believe me (Ooh, ooh)
But them voices telling me you will soon receive me (Ooh, ooh)
Oh, shining on the beach, the sea will part before me
(Fire wheel burning in the air)
And you will follow me, we will rise up to glory
(Way up the middle of the air)
And I'll call down thunder and speak the same
And my work fills the sky with flame
And might and glory gonna be my name
And they gonna light my way

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
My time coming, any day
Don't worry about me, no
Gonna be just like they say
Them voices tell me so
Seems so long I felt this way
And I'm in no hurry, no
Yes, I know I lead the way
And they tell me where I'll go

[Outro]
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me, no
And I'm in no hurry
No, no, don't worry about me, no
Don't worry about me
No, no, no, I know where to go
Don't worry about me
No, no, don't worry about me
No, no, no (Ah)
No, no, no, no, no (Ah)
No, no, no, no, no (Ah)
No, no, no, no, no (Ah)
Ah no, ah no (Ah)
No, no, no, no, no (Ah)
Ah no, no, no, no (Ah)
No, no, no, no, no (Ah)
[Instrumental]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
