"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke


I'll wait, wait, wait, wait
   For my time is about to come
   So I'll sit, sit, sit, sit
   That's all I can do 'til grace comes around
   It all seems quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet
   No more footsteps heading for the door
   I give a shout, shout, shout, shout
   Someone's not here anymore
   Phone rings, I don't think I'll pick up
   Suns out, I don't think I'll look up
   Back hurts, I don't think I'll sit up
   For I've been played for the fool
   So it's time I pack up now
   I tell myself to keep quiet, but I need to learn how
   I think it's time for our last bows
   I think it's safe to say we both were the fools
   DESTINY is on my side
   Grace caught me mid flight
   Running to catch the light
   DESTINY is on my side
   What more can we ever do?
   Hope comes for me, grace comes for you
   My dear, what a delightful coup
   What more can we ever do?
   I stand, stand, stand, stand
   For my leg is falling asleep
   I sigh, sigh, sigh, sigh
   For I have to walk as far as the eye can see
   I'll be careful, careful, careful, careful
   Because I'm about to fall apart right in front of you
   But I'm hopeful, hopeful, hopeful, hopeful
   For the word enscribed on my heart, it rings true
   DESTINY is on my side
   Grace caught me mid flight
   Running to catch the light
   DESTINY is on my side
   What more can we ever do?
   Hope comes for me, grace comes for you
   My dear, what a delightful coup
   What more can we ever do?
   What more can we ever do?
