What Are You Waiting For?

so what are you waiting for

here it is

in front of your face

reach out

take it

what are you waiting for

you know you want it

desire it

dream about it

what are you waiting for

lead to turn to gold

toilets to fall from alien starships

you know you want it

what are you waiting for

pigs to fly

elephants to dance

on the head of a pin

death to pull your number

you know you want it

its right there under you nose

close enough to touch

what are you waiting for

hell to freeze over

a sign from god

in neon letters

telling you there they are

that's the one

take their hand now

you know you love them

what are you waiting for  (c)mjr 2008
