Wondering why

Wondering why the time flies by
While looking forward to something better
Trudging through present nothing
Waiting, waiting, wasting everything
I am and want and have and hope for

Why am I still my own worst enemy
Telling myself it’s best this way
‘It builds character,’ I say
It must not be my time yet
I’ll just keep at it then, that’s what’s best

Time flies by and still I wait
For life to come to me and say,
‘You’re just the one we need,
Won’t you please step this way’
No, ain’t gonna happen that way

It’s time to make some choices,
Take some chances, choose a path
No backward glances
Time to take life by the horns
Figure out what I want, take it by force

I’m in God’s hands again
I’m totally yours
