Wait For You

lyrics

Rise to your feet, the world's coming for you
Far upon the fear, you've come to know to be true
From the high and mighty armor, to the ocean so blue
But you were never slow in your pace
Or just another rat in the race
With a line drawn directly on your face
Tangled news
Because the world it don't wait just for you

We've grown up together, throughout our old age
But soon you must learn, that it's time to turn the page
The iron it is wrought, the palace is so aged
The reasons have already passed the day
The bass has already been put away
The seasons they already have their say
For you to use
Because the whole wide world it don't wait just for you

It's time to change the way your thinking
Lord knows the time has come
To mean what you're believing, that righteous bell it has rung
The ghosts already, haunt the heads that are hung
It's time to know the battle yet to face
Your old ways will fall fast from their grace
Cut from the chord caught firmly in its place
For you to move
Because that whole wide world won't wait just for you

So sip another glass, of your ruby red wine
Sit by the fire, just like any old time
It's time you must learn, not for nickels not for dimes
You tremble at the notion of what's right
But you've not begun to put up a better fight
and turn the daytime, blackness into night
a fire burning new
Because the whole wide world won't wait just for you
