When I was just a little child standing at the edge of the road
Knowing then that I’d have to wait a while ‘til I didn’t need a hand to hold
And I’ve been waiting so long now, been waiting patiently
Now I’m wondering if I’m living aimlessly
Of everywhere you go and everything you do
I heard it said we don’t live life, instead your life lives you
And I’m afraid that I’ll regret the things that fate might choose
‘Cause I can’t help but feel that I got something to lose
They were huddled up together on bended knees with their thoughts turned towards the sky
The preacher said they’d pray until something happened so the congregation closed their eyes
But what is known by sight that isn’t brought to light?
Just ‘cause you can’t see the stars don’t mean they’re not burning bright.
Am I the rain?
Am I the stone?
Am I the blood in the vein
That’s driving the bone?
Or am I just passing by, caught in the breeze?
Am I the blink of an eye in a long goodbye?
