lyrics

There are things to do if you need to wait
Read magazines that are out of date
Think of a time in which you thought
It was the end when it was not
And on you raced, spirits blazing,
To face another red letter day when
Sure, the news is worse and worse
But there’s still more love than we deserve

There are things to do if you want to see
The face of God in humanity
You can shout hello to the man who rocks
By his front door where no one knocks
And watch his face light up and change
See how he looked in younger days
It didn’t even cost a dime
You don’t have much but you’ve got time

There are things to do if you want to feel
Close to the ones who are not near
You can say their names loud as a gong
You can fold them sweet into a song
You can count them on your fingernails
Move to your toes and then your hair
In fact there is so much to do
To think how someone’s counting you

So if you need to wait, pull up a chair
You can do these things most anywhere
I’m sure there are a few I missed
This is an indefinite list…
