I know, I've already heard that song before1,
The words of those teaching lessons,
Of those who keep us from dreaming in circles
My soul is not for sale
I've learned to wait,
But not to submit,
Not to compromise
I know, I know that what happens
Is not always the way you were expecting it to
Too bad, whatever, I've well read in the books
That love is like the world, and even greater
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
If I have to, I know, I'll wait patiently
I'm waiting, confident
I'm waiting, patient
To reach my dreams and really feel alive
Oh, I know the song
Of those who don't ask themselves any question,
Who run head-first into the wall in front of them
Without ever knowing what they really wish for
Me, I want, I demand and I expect a lot
Too bad if I don't get anything, but I still hope to have it all
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
If I have to, I know, I'll wait patiently
I'm waiting, confident
I'm waiting, patient
To reach my dreams and really feel alive
