Lyrics

Impatience weighs heavy on my chest
Impatience I sleep but find no rest
It tugs at my ankles, holding back my feet
I can’t move forward, one step behind the beat

And I try my best
To hold this tension to endure this test
And though it writhes beneath my skin
I’ll beat my breast and own my sin

Impatience, another closing door
A child crying on the floor
She pounds and she thrashes,
a wanting uncontained
Her unfinished symphony longs for refrain

With tender knowing I kneel down
Offer my arms to her and she comes around
Her limbs they yield and her breathing slows
The reed was shaken, but now it grows.
