I'm a little lost let me find my way
I'm a little dead let me give
Been living in the past let me rise today
Led a selfish life help me give

How long how long how long how long we wait
Waiting for the light that might light our way waiting for the right place to fade

You were living under the reign of kings
You were living under the gun
I know it made you do a lot of things
You wish that you'd never done

How long how long how long we hesitate
Waiting for the light that might light our way waiting for the right place to fade

Come along lay down and talk to me
Tell me all your fear will allow
It doesn't matter who we thought we were
We ain't got time for that now

How long how long how long how long we wait
Waiting for the light that might light our way waiting for the right place to fade

I swear I swear I swear it's not too late
Waiting for the light that might light our way waiting for the right place to fade
Waiting for the right place to fade
Waiting for the right place to fade
