The most difficult of actions

Is taking none at all

So we go on doing nothing

Rven when we see the rot

No time for patience

No time to be safe

No time for reaction

We're already too late

To understand a truth

Hold it tightly in your hands

Let the feeling turn to knowing

Let the knowing form a plan

Regret the sense of urgency

Follow through anyway

It's better to ask permission

Than to leave it on the spot

Ask forgiveness from your brother

Ask forgiveness from your mate

Ask forgiveness for forever

Spend your whole life cleaning slate

To understand a truth

Hold it tightly in your hands

Let the feeling turn to knowing

Let the knowing form a plan

To understand a truth

Hold it tightly in your hands

Let the feeling turn to knowing

Let the knowing form a plan

So cold that it burns

Even though it hurts

We know we must wait

We know we must wait

Thoughts turning then to fire

Once alert, begin to tire

We know we must wait

We know we must wait

For those cursed with indecision

And those who can't sit still

For all those in between us

Make your choices, good or ill

In the blink of an eye

The entire world changes

Every atom, every cell

Becoming something else

If the fabric of reality

Is mostly empty space

Then we owe it to each other

We know we must wait
