Waiting

I have been standing here on the corner Waiting, waiting for you to come I have been standing on the corner Waiting, waiting to hear your song I have been observing the apparatus of nature And the will that draw us closer Big heart, big mind, and a spirit that is sublime I’ve been waiting to meet you for the longest while But destiny will not give me a bligh The days get longer, the nights appears shorter And Godot is hiding around the corner The sun is up and noisy men are loading the mini bus School children are walking up and down the street And their tongues are lashing to the country beat They are embroiled in deep chatter And burst out occasionally in rowdy laughter They always have something to talk about Because they have nothing to think about All type of people are walking about Inquisitive men that will not bend Pissing on the wall and creating a brawl Others are piecing together their Christmas plans And the woman sitting behind the counter has no bother Her face is relaxed her countenance is sharp And her spirit is very intact The traffic is coming and going and the noise is overtly confusing The sound of courage keeps echoing in the deep And my army is too much for you to compete But the stillness of my mind Saturates the battle that is raging outside I have been waiting for you for so long Waiting to sing our victory song I just can’t imagine what it would be like To walk gracefully on the big stage for the first time The crowd will be roaring, The people will be shouting And my spirit will be soaring The hearts of the people are with you And the power of heaven is saluting you I do not know much about you, but all I know is that the angels are watching over you The street is crowded with window shoppers And the markets are busy with deceptive sellers I am humming a tune to drown out the sound And the big screen is advertising a wedding gown I can hear the symphony playing way out yonder and the And the marching band is playing around the alter I have been waiting for you so long To come and take my hand I still can’t imagine what took you so long I still don’t know if it is a dream or it is reality But I anticipate some kind of truth before the new moon I can’t imagine the day when fire meets with fire And destiny takes its bow at the alter and unite us with a silent prayer The living will not be able to contain the living And the dead in their graves will laugh out loud I have been waiting, waiting to meet you Me on one side and the army marching on the other side The world will witness it and heavens will behold it Come, come, come and take my hand Don’t let me wait too long.
