[Intro]
\nTick-tock…
\n(Watch it go)
\nRound and round…
\n(Too damn slow!)<\/p>\n
Clouds roll in
\n(The waters rise)
\nTime to wake up
\n(Open your eyes!)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nAre you stalling waiting for a better day
\nWaiting for somebody else to lead the way
\nWaiting for a sign from up above
\nWhile the world keeps spinning and the waters shove<\/p>\n
You can sit and worry, you can shake your head
\nYou can count the things you wish you’d said
\nBut the clock keeps ticking, the moment’s here
\nThe future won’t wait while you live in fear<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nNo more stalling
\n(No more delay)
\nNo more wishing
\n(It would go away)<\/p>\n
The writing’s on the wall
\n(You can see it all)
\nTime to stand up
\n(Answer the call!)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nI ain’t waitin’
\n(Done anticipatin’)
\nNo need to prove…
\n(It’s time to move)<\/p>\n
Cryin’ won’t help you
\n(No, forget prayin’ too)
\nWoe, oh, oh (Know no)<\/p>\n
Ain’t no surprise
\n(When the rivers rise)
\n…. you realize…
\n(Whoa woe oh) …no know?
\nWoe, oh, oh (Know no)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nAin’t no mystery when the flood comes through
\nAin’t no surprise when it comes for you
\nThe rivers rise and the coastlines shift
\nYou can’t stop the current with a wish<\/p>\n
You can blame the weather, you can blame the past
\nBut the changes are moving and they’re moving fast
\nFrom the heat in the ocean to the rain overhead
\nIt’s time to act on the facts instead<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nNo more waiting
\n(For a perfect day)
\nNo more hoping
\n(It’ll go away)<\/p>\n
Take a step
\n(Do what you can)
\nStart right here
\n(That’s the plan!)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nI ain’t waitin’
\n(Done anticipatin’)
\nNo need to prove…
\n(It’s time to move)<\/p>\n
Cryin’ won’t help you
\n(No, forget prayin’ too)
\nWoe, oh, oh (Know no)<\/p>\n
Ain’t no surprise
\n(When the rivers rise)
\n…. you realize…
\nWhoa woe oh (… no know?)
\nAhhh, ahhh, ahhh (a-ha!)
\nWoe, oh, oh (Know no)<\/p>\n
Don’t wait for permission
\n(Don’t wait for a sign)
\nDon’t wait for tomorrow
\n(When you’re running out of time)<\/p>\n
Protect what you love
\n(Prepare where you live)
\nThere’s more we can do
\n(There’s more we can give)<\/p>\n
No magic answer
\n(No easy way)
\nBut every step matters
\n(Starting today!)<\/p>\n
Hey! Say:
\nMove it!
\n(Don’t lose it!)
\nProve it!
\n(Just do it!)
\nNo delay!
\n(Not today!)
\nI ain’t waitin’!
\n(I’m on my way!)<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nI ain’t waitin’
\n(Done anticipatin’)
\nNo need to prove…
\n(It’s time to move)<\/p>\n
Cryin’ won’t help you
\n(No, forget prayin’ too)
\nWoe, oh, oh (Know no)<\/p>\n
Ain’t no surprise
\n(When the rivers rise)
\nNow you realize…
\n(No more alibis!)<\/p>\n
Woe, oh, oh
\n(Know no!)
\nWoe, oh, oh
\n(Let’s go!)<\/p>\n
I ain’t waitin’
\n(No more hesitatin’)
\nThe time is now
\n(We’re gonna show how!)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nRivers rise…
\n(Open your eyes)
\nTime moves on…
\n(Waiting’s gone)<\/p>\n
No more delay…
\n(Not today!)
\nI ain’t waitin’…
\n(Our time’s fadin’…)<\/p>\n
