Lately, I have been getting impatient.

I can feel every second of every hour, every day.

Lately, I have been thinking too much,

And the thought of all the years I'll have to wait keeps me awake.



Time is passing oh-so slowly...

Oh, they say "the future's looking bright."

And I know "these things take some waiting,"

But aren't we told that all the time?



Lately, I have been feeling like I am stuck with my roots in the ground,

But I am ready to move on.

Lately, I have been searching for words to describe how I'm feeling,

But lately, all the words I have are wrong.



Time is passing oh-so slowly...

Oh, they say "the future's looking bright."

And I know "these things take some waiting,"

But aren't we told that all the time?
