Ode To a Patient God

You sit and watch

The cars and planes hurry by

You wonder when they'll arrive

Sometimes you try to catch their eyes

They turn to hide, and you turn to sigh

And don't you go insane?

All 6,000 years of us treating you this way

All this time well, does it make you tired?

I can't believe you waited for me

Like it was worth your while

We see the church and the lost

You see your bride and your sons

And full of hope, you carry on

Making us one, just on and on

And patiently, you wait

Never wanting us to die if we could still be saved

Oh, is it so? having all control

And that controlling nothing at all

Of what you're hoping for

And i surround my gate tonight

Searching to and fro to find someone who will fight

And i oh, i wonder what you see

I can't believe you waited for me

And so if there's anything you need

Anything at all, you just call

I made a promise i'll keep

So 'til we meet
