From the recording Don't Wait
Lyrics
Don’t Wait (Purdum/Long)
There are times when we can receive and there are others when we can give
There is value in each of us, so let’s live - like that’s true
How many times have you noticed the moments
That can give life meaning to you?
We’ve been told peace and truth will come, but we shouldn’t wait anymore
Let’s stand up, and step right on through the door
Don’t wait for someone to do what you could do
Just go out and do your thing now.
The arc of the universe is long, but to justice is where it bends
Doing good is not just a means to an end
Don’t wait for someone to do what you should do
Just go out and show people how.
Don’t get lost in a sea of despair. This is not a short-term struggle
Never be afraid to make some good trouble
Don’t wait for someone to do what you should do
Just go out and reach people now.
