The Waiting Game by Emery Besher Lyrics

It's an uphill climb
Some days seem steeper, I just don't know why
I'm left here watching the rocks below, with the debts I tow
And below that are the prairies that I used to know and I hold the ropes, tight, and I climb

My mind twirls and zooms
All I know is good times go to soon
I'm a restless kid in a waiting room, closures a distant view
Signs of something close aren't coming through
And I almost lose sight of the open sky, but I don't, I fight, and I climb

Life is just mountains and valleys
Oceans and trying to rally
Around visions you have of someday
That you hope and you dream may pay
And meanwhile
We just trace and chase the paths of the waiting game

Fusing feelings that shouldn't go
Starts the sparks flying, then the fuses blow
How much longer till the next joy takes
An exit lane, a lucky break, a safer place
But there's still lots of good in the human race, I keep that in mind, and I climb
Life is just mountains and valleys
Oceans and trying to rally
Around visions you have of someday
That you hope and you dream may pay
And meanwhile
We just trace and chase the paths of the waiting game

And meanwhile
We just trace and chase the paths of the waiting game
