Wait
Seven Mary Three Lyrics

I imagine long walks down the road.
I picture myself on a peaceful journey through life.

Things begin to bloom and the sky explodes.
The beauty of nature invigorates me.

The damage is undone, and then I know.
Once I see the world anew, I realize the healing power of time.

This has got to be a dream.
I feel like my life can't be real and is too good to be true.

Machines and luxuries don't last.
Material possessions are fleeting and temporary.

I took my sleep for granted in the past.
I failed to appreciate the importance of rest in my life.

And I woke up half-dead in the hourglass.
My lack of sleep left me feeling depleted and time seemed to be slipping away.

Why does that sound funny?
Humor can be found in the absurdity of life's challenges.

Wait, you're almost there it's gone.
Just when I think I'm close to achieving something, it disappears or changes.

You're almost there it's gone.
The fragility of life's pursuits can be frustrating and uncertain.

You're almost where what follows you, does not bother you.
I strive to reach a state of inner peace where external stresses cannot affect me.

I have walked the tightrope parts of me.
I have navigated through my inner conflicts and struggles.

I towed the line just far enough to see.
I have balanced my desires with my limits so that I can see my potential.

I never found a gift you get for free.
Success or fulfillment often comes from hard work and sacrifice.

You pay for them dearly.
Achievement often requires effort and overcoming obstacles.

I see my forever as one long night.
I view life as a continuous journey that is often filled with darkness.

If I can make it dark then I can make it light.
I have the power to overcome challenges and create positivity in my life.

I know that most of living done is done in the mind.
Mental attitudes and perceptions shape how we experience life.

Only thought survives.
Our thoughts and experiences are what ultimately remain with us.

Are you tired?
Do you feel exhausted or burnt out?

Are you uninspired?
Do you lack passion or motivation for life?

Has the miscommunication tried to eat you up inside.
Have misunderstandings caused you emotional distress?

I am here, and you are here.
We are both present and sharing this moment.

And everything I want to know.
I am curious and eager to learn more about you and life.

Sleeps between your ears.
All the knowledge and wisdom you possess is housed within your mind.
