    Waiting

I am wondering where,
Everyone has gone
I don't believe that I,
Have ever felt so alone
I am listening!
I am hearing!
And I am daring you,
To open your mind too

Because...

I am,
Waiting!
For you to listen to me,
But you don't hear me
I am,
Waiting!
For you to understand me,
But it's me and mine,
That you don't heed
So I am,
Still waiting!

I am sitting here,
Watching the world go by,
And I am watching all of you,
As you live out their lies
I am listening!
But nothing is what I hear...!
Open your mind!
You might be surprised at what's inside

So...

I am,
Waiting!
For you to listen to me,
But you don't hear me
I am,
Waiting!
For you to understand me,
But it's me and mine,
That you don't heed
So I am,
Still waiting!

I am waiting,
For someone to answer my prayers...
I am waiting,
For your eyes to meet my stares...
I am waiting!
For you to just believe!
And I am waiting!
For you to make...
Yourself free!

I am,
Waiting!
For you to listen to me,
But you don't hear me
I am,
Waiting!
For you to understand me,
But it's me and mine,
That you don't heed
So I am,
Still waiting!
Waiting for you to listen to me,
But you never hear me!
And I am waiting!
For you to to see just what,
Makes you bleed!
You are caught up in the system,
And on your mind it feeds!
So I am, waiting!
How many are waiting...
With me...

It seems that we are always waiting for something, food, shelter, friends, tv shows, movies, our government to actually GOVERN. It can't even govern it's self, let alone us.

I am waiting for change. I am waiting to be heard. I am waiting for THEM to listen to US, instead of US listening to THEM.
What are you waiting for?
Break the system.

**1-24-10 made some HUGE changes to this, both in the verses and the chorus. :nod: The broken lines are meant to add emphasis to the words in the lines, they are said rapidly, with force. :)
