I was a dreamless child Had no idea where I would be today I felt caged and hopeless Small and voiceless along the way I used to pray for change, no change ever came to be But something told me someday I’d break free

I was waiting to live my life Hanging on for something nice Something beautiful

As I waited I began to dream I closed my eyes and I was free To wander and fly To fight to love to live I found colors in the night That I hadn’t found yet

I stopped waiting around Started taking little steps out into the world Any fear that I’d learned washed away in the light of the unknown I found color in the streets color under the sun I found I could live and love I could leave the past behind and wander Further and further

I stopped waiting to live my life Hanging on for something nice Something beautiful

Here I stand, I’ve lived half my life in the world as a free man Found lesson after lesson, blessing after blessing Everyday a new surprise beyond anything I could dream of

I’m done waiting to live my life Hanging on for something nice Something beautiful
