about

The seconds tick by. Life bleeds out of an open wound. I have been waiting long enough. The time for Action is now.

time its own essence
minutes flowing into waves
I trust in me now

lyrics

I had waited for someone like you
All of my life, I had waited for somebody who’d
Show me the way, not lead me astray
Someone to teach me, he who could reach me
I had waited for someone like you

All of my life I’d been longing for someone, it’s true
I had been looking and longing for somebody who'd
Help me to find my own peace of mind
Seek out the path, the one that could last
I had waited for someone like you

And I believe it is time now; Our moment is through
I’ve got to stand on my own now; Alone without you
The light’s inside me, you cannot guide me
I’m filled with fright but I know my own might
I’ve been waiting to pull myself through
