great expectations

we knew your name
six months before

so many people waiting
so many people waiting

we took our sweet time
and were unsure
even in our seventh year

so many people waiting
so many people

you took your sweet time too
two weeks past
you made us wait our turn

so many people eager to meet you
they speak your name
like you were always
part of us

so many people watching
so many people watching

so many people surround you
with their love
