In The Waiting

I've been waiting for answers
 I've been waiting a long, long time
 If I open the door won't you come inside
 My heart's begging for mercy
 How much longer can I sit still and be
 Hopeful and doubting and torn inside
 ♪
 And all this time
 I've been staring at the minute hand
 Oh, what a crime
 That I can't seem to understand that life is in the waiting
 ♪
 I've been working on patience
 Trying to trust in the timing of my tiny existence
 I come alive
 I stood still in the twilight
 I found peace in the quiet things
 How could I wish away all the in between?
 ♪
 And all this time
 I've been staring at the minute hand
 Oh, what a crime
 That I can't seem to understand that life is in the waiting
 ♪
 And I find there's no knowing of a right time
 No, it could keep you waiting all night for it
 So hold tight
 Don't lose sleep over the half-life
 Know that everything is alright
 Just like it is
 And all this time
 I've been staring at the minute hand
 Oh, what a crime
 That I can't seem to understand that life is in the waiting
 Life is in the waiting
