This is how a life gets wasted
On your whim and at your pleasure
You may think you're making progress
But you're only marking time
In the sight of all that's lovely
You appear as bright as day
You can choose to pull the shades down
Even though you're born to rise
And you wait, and you watch, when you want to
Will you wait, will you watch, when you want to
When the day has given over
And your spirit feels the night
Will you wonder where the light went?
Will you know it wasn't me?
And you wait, and you watch, when you want to
Will you wait, will you watch, when you want to
