background
"Possibly the loneliest song that I have ever written, it concentrates on an inner dialogue flashing through the head of an Olympian runner as he steps up to the mark. "Winning is never all in life, and the race itself is the prize," he tells himself as he crosses the line. And with that I also cross the line with a track that makes the most suitable ending to the debut album!" - Jim




lyrics
Don't make me wait, I can't take it so much longer.
My final day and I feel so much stronger.
I always knew that the time to celebrate,
Was coming close, moving closer.
Time stands still, now it's down to fate.
And still I wait.
Still I wait.

Don't make me wait, I can't take it so much longer.
I make my way, still I feel so much stronger.
I always knew that the time to celebrate,
Was coming close, moving closer.
I stand still, now it's down to fate.
And still I wait.
Still I wait.

I stand still, my lungs fill, I try, but I can't cry.
Too late, this is the moment.
Fears pass as I run fast,
Though I can't explain all the things I'm asked.
So near, I need you closer.
I'm now on the home straight, wind in my heels, shaping my fate.
Too late, I'm getting nearer.
Lights flash as I zoom past, I may have won the race but the thrill won't last,
My aim is to get much better, that's why I wait.
And all my friends are cheering, tonight we'll celebrate.
Nothing's left to fear now, there's only jubilation.
Put your hand in my hand and make me understand.
There is no promised land, only what is deep inside.
Now tonight the world is smiling, it may only last a while.
That's all down to fate, but tonight we'll celebrate, we'll celebrate, we'll celebrate, we'll celebrate.

That's why I wait.
