Abbey Hoffman - The Wait Lyrics

I take up the crossroads to follow you forward
But the weight I myself cannot bear
Simon, dear, would you lend me a hand
With my eyes fixed on the promised land
I forgot about the desert under my feet

And I need you right now
'Cause nothing seems to make any sense
And every song is starting to sound the same
Life feels like a test or a game
'Cause I'm failing to see, and I'm losing hope
And I'm wishing that I could believe in the dreams that I had before
Before the wait

I take up singing just to pass the time
Because I don't know how to live unless I'm occupied
And I'm all but engaged
Freedom paralyzing me
Forgive me, Lord, for all my demands
And the fight that I will put up simply for an answer
Don't want to learn the lessons of the in-between

But I need you right now
'Cause nothing seems to make any sense
And every song is starting to sound the same
Life feels like a test or a game
'Cause I'm failing to see, and I'm losing hope
And I'm wishing that I could believe in the dreams that I had before
Before the wait

Mama always told me
Nothing comes easy that's worth having at all
It's the means and not the end
That'll take you by the hand and show who you really are
Well, I'm melting all my gold into a calf now
Dancing while he's high up in the clouds
Start to think he's never coming down now
All this time I've never been more wrong

So I need you right now
Lord, I need you right now
How I need you right now
