Wait, here's a word or two To you who are passing through Time is on your side Though some may be denied Just waiting, standing around The time will come for everyone Still waiting, soon to be found The light inside of everyone Nobody said that it was easy Making your way all by yourself But you take what you've got Though it don't seem a lot And you give it the best that you can Life is a precious thing, so don't burn it up, start living it day by day Life is a precious thing, so don't burn it up, start living it day by day Though we must carry on In time we will think upon All those peaceful nights When everything went right Just waiting, standing around The time will come for everyone Still waiting, soon to be found The light inside of everyone Nobody said that it was easy Making your way all by yourself But you take what you've got Though it don't seem a lot And you give it the best that you can Life is a precious thing, so don't burn it up, start living it day by day Life is a precious thing, so don't burn it up, start living it day by day
