I’ve spent years waiting for you

and wondering who you would be.

Did you see my dreams through?

I’ve always hoped (I almost knew)

that you’d meet opportunities with glee, 

“I’ve spent years waiting for you!”

Have you had a chance to be true,

or allowed yourself to just be free?

Did you see my dreams through?

Yet day by day, you line up in a queue, 

standing still, wishing you could be me.

I’ve spent years waiting for you.

What fear do you pursue that only makes you blue?

Why do you meet me with such jealousy?

Did you see my dreams through? 

You think there’s no future left for you, 

but don’t you remember being me?

I’ve spent years waiting for you,

wondering, did you see my dreams through?
