lyrics

the world puts it's demands on us and they weigh us down
and every now and then we feel like we might drown
it's easy to get lost inside, lose your dreams, lose your mind
but just take your time, put it all to one side
i'm stepping out a while, for a self-enforced exile
and just for today the world can wait for me

the seed waits to grow, the answer waits to be known
the broken wait to heal, the dream waits to be real
the flower waits for spring, the story waits to live
the hour waits for time and the sun waits to shine
i'm stepping out a while, for a self-enforced exile
and just for today the world can wait for me

the heart waits for love, rain waits to fall from above
the caterpillar waits to fly, the tear waits to dry
the lightning waits to strike, the day waits for the night
the lock waits for the key, the sand waits for the sea
i'm stepping out a while, for a self-enforced exile
and just for today the world can wait for me

the unknown waits to be seen, the captive wait to be free
the lonely wait for a smile, the jury waits for the trail
the corner waits to be turned, the lesson waits to be learned
the moment waits to be and the world can wait for me
i'm stepping out a while, for a self-enforced exile
and just for today the world can wait for me
