Standing In Line

We stand in lines 
All the time 
Sometimes those lines 
Are short 
And sometimes those lines 
Are long 
And seem to take 
An eternity 

We stand in line 
Everywhere
We stand in lines 
At the grocery store 
Waiting to buy groceries 

We stand in line 
Everywhere 
We stand in line 
At clothing stores 
Waiting to buy clothing

We stand in line 
Everywhere 
We stand in line 
At concerts and movie theatres 
Waiting to buy tickets 
For concerts and movies. 

Standing in line 
Sometimes it’s the hardest thing 
To do 
But it happens everyday 
Here, there and everywhere
