Waiting Game

Waiting around, in echoes and sounds
A room full of fear and concern
The pain that was bad, a launching pad
To bigger problems then you thought you had

Wait for the right time, your turn in line
The water to boil or retire
The hammer to fall, your finest hour
Right words with significant power

Waiting for the day, that shows you the way
Waiting for hope, you wish would show up
Wait for the sign, that never came and resigned to
Waiting for a time I won't be waiting, anymore

Wait and see, fix that knee
Or to see when the other shoe drops
Wait for a friend, hate and fear to end
Time invested til the bitter end

Wait for the bus, your kids to grow up
And to finally make up your mind
Inspiration to hit, the perfect time to quit
Or a true love found gone adrift

Waiting for the day, that shows you the way
Waiting for hope, you wish would show up
Wait for the sign, that never came and resigned to
Waiting for a time I won't be waiting, anymore

Waitlists we cope with
Disrupt our daily flow
Always waiting for the punchline
Feels like waiting for Godot

Waiting for the day, that shows you the way
Waiting for hope, you wish would show up
Wait for the sign, that never came and resigned to
Waiting for a time I won't be waiting
Waiting for a time I won't be waiting, anymore
