Cover art for Going for the One lyrics by Yes

actually this song has more to do with the sport of chasing after spiritual salvation. and the feelings of futility that sometimes come with that. in the first two verses hes not riding the horse hes under the flanks trying to get the message through. in the second hes not riding in the boat hes being shot through the tons of water out the rudder. the third verse he truly decides that it is almost humorous the way we chase after salvation. so he writes a puncline. from here you stand no taller than the grass sees states how we are no more significant than the grass is on this earth from a higher power point of view.
