Waiting

We spend our lives waiting
For several different things
We watch the chances fly by
But never take a swing

We stand so very still
Waiting to get hit
Never wanting to risk
Boarding that sailing ship

The water is filled with obstacles
What if we sink and die?
But the world is calling out to us
"Spread your wings and fly"

Your wings have been dying
For all the world to see
To show off what you're made of
To show what you can be

You can be anything you want,
Test the hands of fate
But we'll never make it anywhere
If all we do is wait.
