WAITING
words & music by Auset Sarno ©5/7/07

She was waiting in the corner with blue flowers in her hair
all alone, waiting
As a shadow of a young man in an open doorway stood
across the room, waiting
Hear the music, the laughter, the chatter in the air
Yet a silence so loud it was piercing
She lifted her head as he brushed past her sleeve
And their eyes locked desire still empty
This moment gone away

At a station, he was waiting as a woman chased the last train
all alone waiting
Saw a child in her arms and two others close behind
tired and worn, waiting
As her eyes held a stare, through her tangled fallen hair,
she struggled to fight back the tears
But then he watched as her face quickly softened with grace
while comforting everyone's fears
This moment gone away

To all of the people who all end up falling down
while standing in somebody else's mistakes
Whoever decided we all should've given up here
Another day come this way

Why are you here? Where are you going?
What do you feel, and you believe in?
How do sleep and what do you dream of?
We're picking up pieces along the way

All the people watching TV, waiting for the war the end
Every day, waiting
The headlines, the deadlines, the outrageous fueled lies
Day by day, waiting
Does it stop when we stand, or do we lose all we have to the wealthy that go on without us
Can we wake up in time, demand an answer for their crimes
or look away pretending not to see
This moment gone away

To all of the people who all end up falling down
while standing in somebody else's mistakes
If nobody noticed if anyone cared enough
we're standing in somebody else's pain
Whoever decided we all should've given up here
Another day come this way
