Wait For It

Theodosia writes me a letter every day I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away He's on the British side in Georgia He's trying to keep the colonies in line Well he can keep all of Georgia 'Cause Theodosia, she's mine Love don't discriminate Between the sinners and the saints It takes and it takes and it takes And we keep lovin' anyway We laugh and we cry and we break And we make our mistakes And if there's a reason I'm by her side When so many have tried I'm willing to wait for it Then, I'm willing to wait for it My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher, preacher, preacher, preacher But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya, teach ya, teach ya, teach ya My mother was a genius, genius, my father commanded respect, respect When they died they left no instructions, just a legacy to protect Death don't discriminate Between the sinners and the saints It takes and it takes and it takes Yeah, we keep living anyway We rise and we fall and we break And we make our mistakes And if there's a reason I'm still alive When everyone who loves me has died I'm willing to wait for it Then I'm willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it... (Wait for it, wait for it Wait for it, wait for it) I am the one thing in life I can control (Wait for it, wait for it Wait for it, wait for it) I am inimitable, I am original (Wait for it, wait for it Wait for it, wait for it) I am not falling behind or running late (Wait for it, wait for it Wait for it, wait for it) I am not standing still, I am lying in wait (Wait for it, wait for it Wait for it, wait for it) Everyone faces an endless uphill climb You got something to prove, you got nothing to lose Everyone's pace is relentless, you waste no time, time What is it like in his shoes? Life don't discriminate Between the sinners and the saints Taking me, taking me, taking... And we keep living anyway We rise and we fall and we break And we make our mistakes But I know there's a reason I'm alive So many have died And I'm still waiting for it I'm willing to wait for it Life don't discriminate Between the sinners And the saints It takes and it takes and it takes And we keep living anyway We rise and we fall and we break And we make our mistakes And if there's a reason I'm still alive When everyone who loves me has died I'm willing to wait for it (Yes I am) I'm willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it I'm willing to wait for it I'm willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it I'm willing to wait for it I'm willing to wait for it, wait for it, wait for it
