The World Is Waiting

She never sleeps, never laughs, never feels the sun And when you ask her how she is Tired and broken She works alone, eats alone, drinks alone at night She has a family far away And she doesn't know them And every day goes be like a silent dream Behind the same four walls closing off her screams Captured, inside a trance And once upon a time she had hopes of her own But as the tears go by she sinks like a stone Is there someone somewhere who cares One day she woke up to a life Without anyone to hold at night She looked up to the sky Thwe world is waiting Take what you want Release yourself from the past The world is waiting Step through the door Finding a way at last oh-oh He never cries, never talks of the youth he's lost And when you ask him what he needs It's just dignity 'Cause every day he's pulled like a man on string 9 to 9 he's working down on his knees To feel the children he never sees One day he turned out the light Without anyone to hold at night And when he opened his eyes The world is waiting Take what you want. Release yourself from the past The world is waiting Step through the door Finding a way at last oh-oh Don't look back There's just one track The weight on you shoulders Is only in your mind The future's here Leave the rest behind The world is waiting Take what you want Release yourself from the past The world is waiting Step through the door Finding a way at last Walking away from the past Finding a way at last oh-oh Oh oh
