Don'T Make Me Wait

In the bottom of the ocean
Is where my heart lies
Abide by my side, my devotion 
Is lost in the crowd of gals and guys 
Don't make me wait my turn to receive rationality 
Don't make me wait my turn to grieve my long lost sanity
Get out of the way, stay away from the hideous, Yet beautiful lies in my heart...we're not on the same bumpy, rowdy bus
Graze in your own maze...
Quit your daydreaming gaze!
Look into my teary, weary eyes 
They glisten in truth and not of lies
Hear our nearly hushed cries...
Dona nobis pachem
We whisper our last goodbyes...
Oh please...save them...

Ooooh ooooh ooooh 

Don't make 
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait for you to shine my direction
You had my spirits ascend with utmost affection 

Ooooh ooooh ooooh

Subside from my side, 
Negativity long and wide
Like the river ever-flowing 
Like the veins overflowing 
With liquid of lamentation 
Shedding blood of resentment, giving me silent but deadly sensation

Qin edoba ou liha tojhil...
Qin edoba ou liha tojhil...
(You abide in the light)

A-a-and my heart is beating with hesitation
Believe in me while I go on my own and once I'm out there, there's no turning back in this independent zone
You made me wait with frustration...
Postpone the sentiments of alone for a time and answer your ringing phone
I know you meant no harm
Karma will get you back, so be aware
You will grow cold and I'll be warm 
Mama, what kind of wisdom would you care to share?

Ooooh ooooh ooooh 

Don't make 
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait for you to shine my direction
You had my spirits ascend with utmost affection 

Ooooh ooooh ooooh

Subside from my side, 
Negativity long and wide
Like the river ever-flowing 
Like the veins overflowing 
With liquid of lamentation 
Shedding blood of resentment, giving me silent but deadly sensation

Qin edoba ou liha tojhil...
Qin edoba ou liha tojhil...
(You abide in the light)

Like a Phoenix, I rise up from the ashes of my past 
Your beautiful tune mended the Earth with exquisite mirth 
Like a runner, I'm running forward to the finish line oh so fast 
You're a butterfly, wrapped in her cocoon...you're more than what you think you're worth 
I'll wait my turn to see what's on the other side 
I'll wait my turn to find a secluded cave to hide
Solitude is echoing my name in the mountains of majestic wonders
The attitude of gratitude, reject me not during tribulation and hardship, for my mind endlessly ponders 
What it's like after death when all the dead will rise
I heard life's a journey that has so much to offer according to the wise 

Ooooh ooooh ooooh 

Don't make 
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait for you to shine my direction
You had my spirits ascend with utmost affection 

Ooooh ooooh ooooh

Subside from my side, 
Negativity long and wide
Like the river ever-flowing 
Like the veins overflowing 
With liquid of lamentation 
Shedding blood of resentment, giving me silent but deadly sensation

Qin edoba ou liha tojhil...
Qin edoba ou liha tojhil...
(You abide in the light)

If we learned to forgive the past, 
The future will show us the path of painless happiness
Burn away our dismay, so we won't be downcast 
Still scattered on the floor like shards of shame...that leaves me with little to no success
Forgive the past and remember that you're not a waste of space
Forgive the future and let your regrets flee from your presence 
Forgive the present and embrace the passion of your heart that's overflowing with grace
Forgive the past, present and future, then you can seek repentance 

Ooooh ooooh ooooh 

Don't make 
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait for you to shine my direction
You had my spirits ascend with utmost affection 

Ooooh ooooh ooooh

Subside from my side, 
Negativity long and wide
Like the river ever-flowing 
Like the veins overflowing 
With liquid of lamentation 
Shedding blood of resentment, giving me silent but deadly sensation

Qin edoba ou liha tojhil...
Qin edoba ou liha tojhil...
(You abide in the light)

I heard a tap at my window...
I expected your face to appear when I opened it ajar
Instead, the wind of sorrow...
Decided to blow to and fro and I've been chilled to the bone so far
Don't turn the cold shoulder...
The gloomy room of doom becomes colder
No matter what, I will love you even when you grow older
I will keep you like a memory folder in my brain...I'll think more clearly and bolder
Maybe I shoulda told her...
My future's a mighty blur
Maybe I shoulda told her...

Ooooh ooooh ooooh 

Don't make 
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait for you to shine my direction
You had my spirits ascend with utmost affection 

Ooooh ooooh ooooh

Ooooh ooooh ooooh 

Don't make 
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait for you to shine my direction
You had my spirits ascend with utmost affection 

Ooooh ooooh ooooh

Qin edoba ou liha tojhil...
Qin edoba ou liha tojhil...
(You abide in the light)

But I learned to forgive the past
Move forward to a brighter future
Our hearts' love from above beats so fast...oh so vast!
These hardships we will surely endure 
Don't make me wait
For a past that will never be
As I intended it to be, it was determined by fate
God will rescue me from this corrupted captivity 
Possibly, if I were more patient and less enraged,
I could have avoided drifting away and being caged 

Qin edoba ou liha tojhil...
Qin edoba ou liha tojhil...
(You abide in the light)
Be still, healing's near 
So, have no flick of fear,
For God is here to give us hope and cheer 
Dona nobis pachem
You are as precious as a gem
You are unlike them

This is well thought out, an epic song and with every verse it keeps playing along, very descriptive lines wove into a hypnotic melody, very good.

Thank you! It's two songs mixed into one, all written by me...Dona nobis pachem is from many songs and composers. I like your description of it. So in depth and great! Thanks for your outlook on it. Have a splendid day!
