I sit here and wait
No I’m not a man of action,
nor easily led by leaders
who get people to shout hateful slogans
and blindingly stumble into another war!
And when enough blood is shed
look for another shepherd
to lead them into harm
and promises of gold.

I sit here and wait
No I’m not a man of action,
nor easily led by false prophets who get people
to believe that they alone speak the truth
as told to them by God.
And when the impostor is exposed
look for another prophet to lead them
into an illusory Paradise.

I sit here and wait
No I’m not a man of action,
but my mind tells me and my heart agrees
that Eden is here on earth
and that the only riches man can truly possess
is inner peace and strength only love can bring.
Yes by the nascent of dreams
I naively sit and wait for God to lead.
