Walking a dead street all my life
  Watching the days slip into the night
  And no matter how hard I try
  The darkness seems to find me
  
  But your sweet tender eyes
  Have always been my guiding light
  And you know the world's unkind
  But something's resurrected me
  
  And now I'm gonna wait
  Til the moment's right
  So right
  I’m gonna take my time
  And be sure I get it right
  Too many people now
  Can’t see wrong from right
  I’m gonna take my time
  Now I know and understand
  That I don't want no part of a world
  If I can't live it
  Just like I planned
  
  We don't want no part of foolish pride
  Try and understand
  Before time finds your hourglass
  With no sand
