WAITING AT THE SHORE

In the glow of the moonlight I stand
Gazing out the gateway toward my home
Stars calling me to my destiny...but I stand alone

Peeking back over my shoulder I see a light in the distance
My brother calling to me to tell me eventually I'll be older
And my best dreams will come true...they always do

But patience is a virtue I've never learned
I want it now...won't you show me how
Tomorrow is my inspiration
I'm living for the day that's never here

Coming down from the mountain I've seen the light
Blazing as the sun sets in the twilight
The truth is told...it's more precious than gold

Sometimes it seems like tomorrow takes forever to come
And even though everything's changing, the changes don't seem rapid enough
And so I reach out my hand...to the promised land

But patience is a virtue I've never learned
I want it now...won't you show me how
Tomorrow is my inspiration
I'm living for the day that's never here

Why are we always waiting until tomorrow to show our love?

Waiting at the shore, I'm with my friend...
Wave after wave come crashing in...there is no end
We look to the sea...the distant shores...they beckon to me

And once again I'm lost in the dream with no way out
And even though my friend is standing there, I'm so confused I begin to doubt
If the pain that's in the telling of the story 
           doesn't get in the way of the glory

And she says to me...
If patience is a virtue you've never learned
If you want to know now, let me show you how
Let tomorrow be your inspiration
But live for the day while you're here
