Waiting for my Real Life to Begin

Any minute now, 

my ship is coming in
 
I'll keep checking the horizon 

I'll stand on the bow, 

feel the waves 

come crashing 

Come crashing 

down down down, 

on me 

And you say, 

be still my love 

Open up your heart 

Let the light shine in 

But don't you understand 

I already have a plan 

I'm waiting 

for my real life 

to begin 

When I awoke today, 

suddenly nothing happened 

But in my dreams,

 I slew the dragon 

And down this beaten path, 

and up this cobbled lane 

I'm walking in my old footsteps, 

once again 

And you say, 

just be here now 

Forget about the past, 

your mask is wearing thin 

Let me throw 

one more dice 

I know 

that I can win 

I'm waiting 

for my real life 

to begin 

Any minute now, 

my ship is coming in 

I’ll keep checking

the horizon 

And I'll check my machine, 

there's sure to be 

that call 

It's gonna happen 

soon, soon, soon 

It's just that times 

are lean 

And you say, 

be still my love 

Open up your heart, 

let the light 

shine in 

Don't you understand 

I already 

have a plan 

I'm waiting 

for my real life 

to begin
