LIKE A VULTURE ...

Day in and day out
From sunrise to sunset
And from sunlight to moonlight
Oh yea, like a vulture, I will wait.
Wait until it happens
Patiently, I wait
Wait for something I starve for
It might come and it might not.
Whose fault was it that it ran away?
Whose fault will it be if it never comes back?
The sun nor the star does not know
Like a vulture, I will wait.
When every flower in this orchard bloom
I only shrivel, not because of fear, nor because I’m powerless
There is no rain falling upon me
Nor sunlight to make me grow
But, I will wait for the rain to fall
Wait for the sun to shine
Forever, like a vulture, I will wait
