There’s a moment when we all
Have to choose to fly or fall
Here’s yours
I see you staring at the sky
As the daylight slowly dies
But there’s more you’ll find
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
It burns it breaks
It won’t give when it takes
It’s not fair
It’s not always right
You can waste away in a safer place
You’ll get by, you’ll survive
But are you alive?
Are you really alive?
You try to find your better self
But you’re becoming someone else
It’s OK
And though you’re scared to be alone
I think you’re braver than you know
So don’t fade away
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
It burns it breaks
It won’t give when it takes
It’s not fair
It’s not always right
You can waste away in a safer place
You’ll get by, you’ll survive
But are you alive?
Are you really alive?
You know you’ll never be sure
But what are you waiting for?
