LYRICS
What are you waiting for,
A space on the runway,
Telling you you're next?
What are you staying for?
Look, the clouds are clear.
What are you waiting for,
A moment or rest or
Some amazing text?
What are you praying for?
Time to fly your fear.
They claim it's easy,
What a lie.
The cavalry's not coming.
Time to get out,
And lift off the ground.
Head full of doubt,
Drown out the sound.
Don't wait your turn,
Move, don't waver, learn.
You could be strong
Or that's how it seems.
What could go wrong
Chasing your dreams.
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for
A moment of truth or
Some magical day?
What are you sitting for?
Get back on your feet.
What are you waiting for
A mentor or guide
To light up your way?
What are you quitting for?
You can take the heat.
They said it's simple,
What a joke.
The cavalry's not coming.
Don't watch the clock,
It's year after year.
No time for talk
Your future is here.
Don't wait your turn,
Move, don't waver, learn.
Stop the old song,
And you'll start to sing.
What could go wrong?
Oh, everything.
A writer writes,
A painter paints,
A boxer fights
With no complaints.
Take up your brush,
Pick up your pen,
It's time to rush.
If not now, when?
What am I waiting for?
I'm standing before you
Showing you I'm here.
What was I worried for?
Look, the sky is clear.
What am I waiting for?
I'm ready to fight
And fail and try and sail.
What am I hurried for?
Time to fly my fear.
The cavalry's not coming,
So what am I waiting for?
The cavalry is coming,
And it's me.
No more waiting,
No more waiting,
I'm here.
