You waited for something
You turned your mind around
You tried to consider
That some hope might be found

But you still had a long way to go
'Cause you took it your own hands
To let us know
How the pain can become too much
The speed of light just isn't fast enough

You've broken a promise
That you once made to me
If there was a reason
I never failed to see

But you still had a long way to go (long way to go)
To the dawn
That was threatening never would show (never would show)
The pain has become too much
The speed of light just isn't fast enough

An angel come and set you free
Though your eyes are closed you continue to see
You touch the sun that still shines for me

You waited for something
You turned your mind around
You tried to consider
That some hope might be found

But you still had a long way to go (long way to go)
To the dawn
That was threatening never would show (never would show)
The pain has become too much
the speed of light just isn't fast enough

The speed of light just isn't fast enough
