Waiting is the unquenchable thirst for more.
Day by day the same mistakes, same frustrations.
Life’s a pilgrimage of ups and downs, everyone’s waiting for someone's appreciation.
Waiting for a chance, waiting for an opportunity
To do something…incredible.

Day by day, we toil with blood and sweat,
But always we are rewarded with our dissatisfaction.
So we wait for an opportunity to be a hero or for admiration.
And when we get what we think we were waiting for there's always something else.
So while the earth grows ever older and death grows ever nearer, we wait.
