The First Waitsgiving (Waitsgiving Founder)

In 97 I was walking to work

Tripped on plaque and lookin back

I saw the date of my birth

A time capsule absent of an opening date

Just a burial time and at the bottom underlined

The word wait

So I took myself down to city hall

To get some education information making sense of it all

City hall pass a law that it’ll never be raised

And every 17th of May is now a city wide holiday

And on Waitsgiving Day

The red lights never change

There’s a big parade

That just sits in the shade

And then the grand marshal stands

Signals to the band and they play

We are always waiting

Hoping Praying

For a day that may not come

And with a little patience

Contemplation

We may find

we have enough

           

So tell your mom and dad

Cancel all the plans they had

and come out and play

We are always waiting

Hoping Praying

For a day that may not come

And with a little patience

Contemplation

We may find

We are
