Analysis of Waiting for the day



Life is full of waiting.
Waiting to grow up.
Waiting to find the special someone.
Waiting, waiting, and yes more waiting.
Must I go on?
I sure home not
Because in the end
When waiting is over
You will see
That waiting is apart of life
That waiting...
Will lead you to the true love of your life
