Lyrics

what a bright peaceful morning after a
long, slow night. in the east the sky turns
yellow. early seagulls draw patterns on
the sky. and for a second there is stillness
in me before the hustle swallows me
again.
how long can we wait?we say it‘s never
too late but life has taught me otherwise
and how long can we stall? is that an
option at all? or are we facing our
demise?
what a bright peaceful morning after a
long, slow night
but morning light ceases, the pressure
increases, so hurry and haste, there‘s
no time to waste. and morning will fade,

clocks are racing, it‘s late, so hurry, my
dear, we‘ll wait for you here.
how long can we wait? we say it‘s never
too late but life has taught me otherwise
and how long can we stall? is that an
option at all or are we facing our demise?
