It is quiet by the lake
It is quiet at the seashore
Where I just sit and wait
Where I sit and wait for thoughts
Where I sit and wait for words
Where I sit and wait so long
Until it starts to hurt
Until all of my feelings
Come crashing over me
Until I can’t escape
What I really need to see
What usually is covered
By all the noise around
By all those nagging voices
And disturbing city sounds
And as the noises stop
I start to comprehend
Everything that hurts
Just helps me to understand
Just like a stone blocking a cave
That you have to remove
To bring in all the light
When you want to find the truth
When everything is quiet
When no one is around
Someone whispers me the answers
So I can write them down
So I sit quiet on the mountain
I sit quiet by the lake
I sit quiet at the seashore
I just sit and wait
