Wait On It
(Janis Kelly @2011)
“How many years do you need for the ruby, through the Sun’s work, to obtain its rich color and its dazzle?”-Rumi
Wait on it, wait on it! Wait on it, wait on it!
Wait on it, wait on it! (All you’ve got to do is…)
Wait on it, wait on it! (‘Cause it’s up to you…)
Wait on it, wait on it! (Wait-on-it!)
How many years must pass, before a ruby glows?
How many decades dawn, and still the redwood grows?
Life is unfolding just exactly as it should;
It is ever unfailing in bringing us our good! (If we just…)
Wait on it, wait on it! (All you’ve got to do is…)
Wait on it, wait on it! (‘Cause it’s up to you…)
Wait on it, wait on it! (Wait-on-it!)
And how many tears must fall, until we finally see;
Love’s brilliant reflection, shining in you and me?
And all that you’ve hoped for, all that you’ve longed to receive;
Is making its way to you right now, if you’d only believe! (If you’d just…)
Wait on it, wait on it! (All you’ve got to do is…)
Wait on it, wait on it! (‘Cause it’s up to you…)
Wait on it, wait on it (Wait-on-it!)
Can we try to be patient with what’s unsettled in our hearts?
Can we learn to love the questions just for themselves?
Can we trust that Mother Nature always moves the hands of time;
At a pace that’s right for every soul, not only yours or mine?
Wait on it, wait on it! Wait on it, wait on it!
Wait on it, wait on it! Wait on it, wait on it!
Wait on it, wait on it! Wait on it, wait on it!
Wait on it, wait on it!
Wait-on-it! (Wait-on-it!)
Wait-on-it! (Wait-on-it!)
Wait-on-it! (Wait-on-it!)
WAIT!
