I Will Wait
© 1998 Sterling Brown

The carousel is playing music
While the horses dance
Up and down my mind in circles
Sending me before I splash
Back into the cold reality
That my hope still remains unseen
But I believe in the power of a seed

So I will wait for you
I will wait for the promise to come true
Until the rain comes
And the flowers bloom
I will wait for you

Many nights I’ve spent in turmoil
But tonight I lay in peace
For the arms that hold the stars
Are holding us though we might be
Living in two distant worlds
Separated by space and time
But in this race it is not the strong
Who gain the prize
