Be Patient

I know love is coming for you

You tell yourself it can’t be true

                                                                                                       

Be patient

Don’t tell me that you’re unworthy

After a drought we all get thirsty

Sky’s on fire, your heart’s a diamond

Belt’s unbuckled on Orion

Birds flying backwards toward the light

 

The world is hot and getting hotter

Meanings shift in a world -- why bother?

Still, you gotta believe with all your might

You’ve buried your hope down so deep

These shapeless dreams they haunt your sleep
