We were 17,
Had the same old dream.
We were on fire, there was water all around
and we couldn’t make a sound.
Said she wants to spend the days
a thousand miles away.
Her plans did not include me, I should not have been surprised
But, hindsight opens eyes.
I had to wait,
I had to wait my
I had to wait my turn…
Lord knows I've got time.

Easter proved it all
She was a cannonball
Tied around my ankles, pulling me to deeper water
An unrepentant prodigal daughter.
She had to wait
She had to wait her
She had to wait her turn…
Lord knows she’s got time.

(V3)
Up for air at last
fingers crossed, steadfast.
My feet were on the ground I just got knocked back on my heels
A mile a minute spinning my wheels.
And sometimes
We've got to wait for
We've got to wait our turn…
“Lord knows we’ve got time.”
