The Verdict

Lyrics

Did you do me right?
 Did I do right by you?
 When I bare my soul it seems you do not hear
 Can this be true?
 Am I a fool to fight?
 I could do just what you say
 But I'm following my heart and that takes me another way
 It's not easy when there's no one giving prizes at the end
 Waiting in the wings
 Wishing that the band would start to play
 As the show begins
 Wonder what the critics have to say
 Waiting
 Waiting
 For the verdict
 Some people live so fast
 They're so scared of getting old
 Some people keep on working
 All they do is line their graves with gold
 We don't know what happens when we die
 We only know we die too soon
 But we have to try or else our world becomes a waiting room
 Would you testify for me?
 I think I'd do the same for you
 Waiting in the dark
 Waiting for the phone to ring all day
 My witness disappears
 Wonder what the jury has to say
 Waiting
 Waiting
 For the verdict
 Waiting
 Waiting
 Waiting
 Waiting
