Wait for it, wait for it
|
Wait for it, wait for it
|
Wait for it, wait for it
|
Wait for it, wait for it
|
Theodosia writes me a letter every day
|
I’m keeping the bed warm while her husband is away
|
He’s on the British side in Georgia
|
He’s trying to keep the colonies in line
|
Well he can keep all of Georgia
|
'Cause Theodosia, she’s mine
|
Love don’t discriminate
|
Between the sinners and the saints
|
It takes and it takes and it takes
|
And we keep lovin' anyway
|
We laugh and we cry and we break
|
And we make our mistakes
|
If there’s a reason I’m by her side
|
When so many have tried
|
I’m willing to wait for it
|
Then, I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it
|
My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher, preacher, preacher, preacher
|
But there are things that the homilies and hymns won’t teach ya, teach ya,
|
teach ya, teach ya
|
My mother was a genius, genius, my father commanded respect, respect
|
When they died they left no instructions, just a legacy to protect
|
Death don’t discriminate
|
Between the sinners and the saints
|
It takes and it takes and it takes
|
Yeah, we keep living anyway
|
We rise and we fall and we break
|
And we make our mistakes
|
If there’s a reason I’m still alive
|
When everyone who loves me has died
|
I’m willing to wait for it
|
Then I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it…
|
(Wait for it, wait for it
|
Wait for it, wait for it)
|
I am the one thing in life I can control
|
(Wait for it, wait for it
|
Wait for it, wait for it)
|
I am inimitable, I am original
|
(Wait for it, wait for it
|
Wait for it, wait for it)
|
I am not falling behind or running late
|
(Wait for it, wait for it
|
Wait for it, wait for it)
|
I am not standing still, I am lying in wait
|
(Wait for it, wait for it
|
Wait for it, wait for it)
|
Everyone faces an endless uphill climb
|
You got something to prove, you got nothing to lose
|
Everyone’s pace is relentless, you waste no time, time
|
What is it like in his shoes?
|
Life don’t discriminate
|
Between the sinners and the saints
|
Taking me, taking me, taking…
|
And we keep living anyway
|
We rise and we fall and we break
|
And we make our mistakes
|
But I know there’s a reason I’m alive
|
So many have died
|
And I’m still waiting for it
|
I’m willing to wait for it
|
Life don’t discriminate
|
Between the sinners
|
And the saints
|
It takes and it takes and it takes
|
And we keep living anyway
|
We rise and we fall and we break
|
And we make our mistakes
|
If there’s a reason I’m still alive
|
When everyone who loves me has died
|
I’m willing to wait for it (Yes I am)
|
I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it
|
I’m willing to wait for it
|
I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it
|
I’m willing to wait for it
|
I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it
|
I’m willing to wait for it
|
I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it
|
I’m willing to wait for it
|
I’m willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it |
