Patience...

You sit and watch the cars and planes hurry by, you wonder when they'll arrive.

Sometimes you try to catch their eyes,
they turn to hide and you turn to sigh.

Don't you go insane? All 6,000 years of us treating you this way?

All this time does it make you tired? I can't believe you waited for me, like it was worth your while.

We see the church and the lost.

You see your bride and your sons.

And full of hope you carry on, making us one, just on and on...

And patiently you wait, never wanting us to die if we could still be saved.

Is it so? Having all control, 

and them controlling nothing at all.

Your eyes will roam again tonight, searching to and fro to find someone who will fight. 

I wonder what you'll see; I can't believe you waited for me.
