You waited for something

You turned your mind around

You tried to consider

That some hope might be found



But you still had a long way to go

'Cause you took it your own hands

To let us know

How the pain can become too much

The speed of light just isn't fast enough



You've broken a promise

That you once made to me

If there was a reason

I never failed to see



But you still had a long way to go (long way to go)

To the dawn

That was threatening never would show (never would show)

The pain has become too much

The speed of light just isn't fast enough



An angel come and set you free

Though your eyes are closed you continue to see

You touch the sun that still shines for me



You waited for something

You turned your mind around

You tried to consider

That some hope might be found



But you still had a long way to go (long way to go)

To the dawn

That was threatening never would show (never would show)

The pain has become too much

the speed of light just isn't fast enough



The speed of light just isn't fast enough
