lyrics

Who is this body
That stares at me
When the day is done
Where did the time go
And what did I become

Am I still the invincible girl
That could reach up high
And still touch the world

And I wait
for that day to come
And I wait
And I live for that day to come
When I don't have to hesitate

Every hour is money
And I can't afford
The life I could create
Where is this paradise?

My Shangri-La
Has no parking space
Do I still have it in me to find
All the dreams I have left behind

And I wait
for that day to come
And I wait
And I live for that day to come
When I don't have to hesitate

Am I the creator
Of my own despair
Am I the inventor
Of what's not really there
How do I leave this place
Of my own device
Of my own disgrace
Is it me
That paves my own delay

And I wait
for that day to come
And I wait
And I live for that day to come
When I don't have to hesitate

I don’t have to wait
For my day to come
Oh I wait
And I live for that day to come
When I don't have to hesitate
