Well I've been trying to imagine The way things'll go in my life Will I get my way And end up doing what I want I've got to make a move I've got to make a move out of this corner I want to learn something good 'bout Beauty & truth & power I spent fifteen years trying to get an education And all I got was fifteen years of total frustration Now I ain't sayin' I want to be a saint or a sinner And I don't want to be sacred I just want to be trusted And I don't Want to be sacred I want to open up myself to the times Well I've been trying to imagine The way things'll go in my life Will I get on top Get Ahead of the rat race I've got to make a move I've got to make a move out of this corner I want to learn something good 'bout Beauty & truth & power I spend all my time trying to get A little salvation And all I get is wasted time And bitter frustration Now I ain't saying I want to be a saint or a sinner How much longer can I wait? How much longer can I wait?
