Waiting for the Sun
I’m Tired of walking
 I want to run
 Tired of shadows
 I’m just waiting for the sun
 
 Tired of losing
 Why can’t I win?
 You force me to conform
 I feel pinned
 
 I want to be me
 You want me to agree with you
 I’m too tired of trying
 But I don’t know what else to do
 
 Tired of following 
 Tired of being behind
 I should be in front
 Why can’t it be my time?
 
 I love this a lot
 I want to be free
 To do what I love
 And also to be me
 
 It’s been two years 
 And still no results
 I’ve worked my a** off
 Trying to impress this dolt
 
 I work and I work
 My fingers to the bone
 I’ve been so stressed
 When I get home
 
 I kick and I scream
 Where no one can hear
 If she found out
 I would be quaking in fear
 
 I’d be out I’d be gone 
 It might be a relief
 Then would go time
 And I’d feel grief
 
 
 I’m Tired of walking
 I want to run
 Tired of shadows
 I’m just waiting for the sun
 
 Is there a bright side?
 I guess soon I’ll know
 It’s just taking its sweet time
 But it almost has to show
 
 I want to know right now
 But I guess I have to wait
 Good things are worth waiting for
 But it might be too late
 
 I want to quit
 I want to be free
 To get away from this madness
 To get away from ‘not me’
 
 I’m tired of waiting
 I want to get out 
 I’m tired of whispering
 When all I want to do is SHOUT
 
 If I shout I’m done
 If I don’t I’ll explode
 I am glad I have friends
 I can trust to unload
 
 Tired of trying
 I just want to be done
 Tired of rumors
 I’m just waiting for the sun
