Don’t Wait Verse 1 We’re waiting for Monday, for spring, for a sign, For everything somehow to fall into line. We’re waiting for someday, for dreams to come true, While life keeps on moving with all that we do. We tell ourselves, “Tomorrow I’ll start, Tomorrow I’ll follow the call of my heart.” But years disappear without making a sound, While everything beautiful happens right now. Chorus Don’t wait For the world to get better. Don’t wait For the stars to align. Look around — this moment is yours, This life isn’t waiting behind some closed doors. We keep waiting for real life to begin, But life keeps on saying: “I’m here. Let me in.” Verse 2 We’re waiting for money, for places to go, A bigger house, something more we can show. We tell ourselves, “Once I get there, then I Will finally live, I’ll have time to enjoy.” But happiness isn’t some faraway place, It lives in the moments we hurry to waste. It’s coffee at sunrise, the laughter at home, The voice of someone saying: “When are you coming home?” Chorus Don’t wait For the world to get better. Don’t wait For the stars to align. Look around — this moment is yours, This life isn’t waiting behind some closed doors. We keep waiting for real life to begin, But life keeps on saying: “I’m here. Let me in.” Bridge One day the children will walk out that door, And home won’t sound quite like it did before. And days that seem ordinary today Will be the memories we wish could have stayed. And maybe the things we were hoping to find Were walking beside us the whole damn time. Not someday, not later, not when everything’s right — We only have now, we only have life. Final Chorus Don’t wait For permission to be happy. Don’t wait For some perfect day to arrive. Hold the ones you love while they’re here by your side, Watch one more sunset and enjoy the ride. Don’t save your life for some future unknown — Love them today, Tell them before they’re gone. We’re always chasing tomorrow somehow, Thinking the best days are waiting somewhere… But while we keep dreaming of better days, The best days of our lives are happening now.
