Wise women
Moonchild Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Healing time
Lends a hand
But you've got to let go
What you're holding in

It'd be nice
It's all pretend
Wise women won't wait
For the now and then

What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?

Go on and prove them wrong now
(Prove them wrong)
Go on and prove them wrong

Make the call
Call again
Build your own door
Go up and knock again

Cross the room
Press reset
Wise women won't wait
For the now and then

Forgive yourself
Make the time
Take the jump and then catch
Yourself by surprise

Elevate
Find the light
Say it's so and get going
Soon you'll be right

What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?

Go on and prove them wrong now
(Prove them wrong)
Go on and prove them wrong

What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?





Go on and prove them wrong
Prove them wrong

healing time
lends a hand 
but you’ve got to let go what you’re holding in 



it’d be nice 
is all pretend 
wise women won’t wait for the now and then 



what you waiting for 4x
go on and prove em wrong now, wrong now 
(prove them wrong)
go on and prove them wrong 



make the call
call again
build your own door
or go up and knock again



cross the room 
press reset
wise women won’t wait for the now and then 



forgive yourself
make the time 
take the jump and then catch yourself by surprise 



elevate
find the light 
say it’s so and get going, soon you’ll be right 



what you waiting for 4x
go on and prove em wrong now, wrong now 
(prove them wrong)
go on and prove them wrong
