lyrics

What will you do with all the hours,
All the days, the months, the years?
How will you waste your time away?
How will you face your darkest fears?
And will you find the love you need,
Or only chase the things you want?
Will you settle for the money they pay you?
Will you run when things go wrong?

I've waited all my life
Just waiting for something that a'int arrived
And if I can't get into heaven
Well bury my bones in Texas
Meet me by the river
And I'll drink that bitter cup
'Cause you ain't got a reason
And I ain't got the bread to keep this up.

So will you stand up for your brother?
Will you speak when you're compelled?
And will you be a loving stranger?
And make the most with with what your dealt?
Or will you close your eyes and follow,
Believing everything you're told?
Or will you scream out from your window,
"Hey sinner, didn't I tell you so?"

I've waited all my life
Just waiting for something that a'int arrived
And if I can't get into heaven
Well bury my bones in Texas
Meet me by the river
And I'll drink that bitter cup
'Cause you ain't got a reason
And I ain't got the bread to keep this up.

So will you laugh at every joke?
Will you put your dreams aside?
And will you answer when he asks you,
With a smile and a lie?
Or will you live by the sea again?
Or will you make your peace with god?
Will you be quick to give forgiveness?
Will you replace the ones you've lost?

I've waited all my life
Just waiting for something that a'int arrived
And if I can't get into heaven
Well bury my bones in Texas
Meet me by the river
And I'll drink that bitter cup
'Cause you ain't got a reason
And I ain't got the bread to keep this up.

'Cause you ain't got a reason
And I ain't got the bread to keep this up.
