Waiting the Moment - Blue Eyes Black Ties

Fighting hard, fighting strong Fighting harder and stronger Fighting hard, fighting strong Fighting harder and stronger Oh I will fight for you I will hold you so deep in the night, ohh Ohh I will fight for you I will hold you into the night Ohh Waiting for my moment, it's now or never Heartbroken and hopeless, it's now or never Down on my life, felt like dyin's better for you Don't come 'round here tryna find yourself Belly of the beast, boolin', only God can help I woke up with a vendetta this mornin' Rise and shine, demise of my mind and I'm haunted That's why y'all I'm still yawnin' My pride won't die til I'm dormant Show me where the war at It's death threats on my door mat I'm selfish, I need all that No accolade escape See I be sittin' in the grave 'Fore I be sittin' in the cage Asked Ali what's the price of war Asked God why momma made me poor Ask police why they hunt me down We fight to live and fight for sport I try to give, they ask for more I back away, they turn they back Lifestyle of talented and black Back on the roads, I must react This my story Yeah this is my story

It's coming on the end of August Another summer's promise almost gone And though I heard some wise man say That every dog will have his day He never mentioned that these dog days get so long I don't know when I realized the dream was over Well, there was no particular hour, no given day You know it didn't go down in flame There was no final scene, no frozen frame I just watched it slowly fade away I've been waiting in the weeds Waiting for my time to come around again And hope is floating on the breeze Carrying my soul high up above the ground And I've been keeping to myself Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing Even though you're with somebody else He'll never love you like I do I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage If finding love is just a dance Proximity and chance You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade And I've been waiting in the weeds Waiting for the dust to settle down along the Back roads running through the fields Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town And I imagine sunlight in your hair You're at the county fair You're holding hands and laughing And now the Ferris wheel has stopped You're swinging on the top suspended there with him And he's the darling of the chic The flavor of the week is melting Down your pretty summer dress Baby, what a mess you're making I've been stumbling through some dark places Now I'm following the plow I know I've fallen out of your good graces It's alright now I've been waiting in the weeds Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the Wild birds scattering the seeds Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune The phases of the moon, the chambers of the heart The ebb and dart of small gray spiders spinning in the dark In spite of all the times the web is torn apart And I've been waiting in the weeds (waiting in the weeds) Waiting for the time to come around again And hope is floating on the breeze (floating on the breeze) Carrying my soul high up above the ground And I've been keeping to myself (keeping to myself) Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing Even though you're with somebody else (with somebody else) He'll never love you like I do
