I’ll wait for the words I long to hea
I’ll reach for the arms that pull me near
I’ll hold on till all the pain has gone
Then I’ll fall down at your feet
I’ll stand though I may not understand
I’ll sit with my short attention span
I’ll walk slow learning to say no
Then I’ll fall down at your feet
It feels like I could now go the extra mile
‘Cos I’m seeing now
You bleed till there’s nothing left at all
You need nothing from me yet you call
You scream loud that I have made you proud
So I’ll fall down at your feet
There’s a long road ahead
And it’s making me wonder
If it matters how fast I get there
I’ve been rushing ahead
But it’s getting me nowhere
So am I a tortoise or a hare
