The Waiting Game
Waiting for the rain to go
or the sun to come, or the clouds to go
or the car to come, or the fear to go
or the phone to ring, or the heart to know
or waiting around for your love to grow
or waiting for his fear to go.
Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for the endless night
or waiting for the endless fight
or waiting around for your delight
or waiting, perhaps, for my heartbreak
or a cry of help, or your tears for my sake
or a chain of thorns, or a chain of rants
or a ring of flames, or one more chance.
Everyone is just waiting.
Based on the book: Oh, the Places You'll Go! Dr Seuss
For the competition Dr. Seuss theme and form by Joann Grisetti
