Don't wait till I'm tired to encourage me,I won't move on Don't wait till I'm crippled to tell me about miracles,I won't believe Don't wait till I'm frozen to warm me,I won't appreciate Don't wait until I've stepped the trap to caution me, it won't help Don't wait till I'm shattered to tell me I can be whole, I won't listen Don't wait for me to yawn to give me food, I won't eat it Don't wait until the treasures are depleted to tell me if I dig I'll find its useless to tell me passion will drive me insane after I'm out of my mind Don't wait till I'm famous to praise my pieces, aren't you seeing them now? Don't wait until the Antelope has turned tail to hand me the bow Don't wait for the birds to fly off the tree to hand me the catapult Don't wait for me to step on the live wire to lecture me about vaults Don't wait for me to slip and fall to tell me the place is slippery when wet Don't wait until you've wronged me to preach "forgive and forget" Don't wait until I'm in flames to tell me not to play with fire, bury my ashes Don't try shutting stables after they're gone, instead run after those Horses Don't wait until I'm soaked to give me an umbrella,I won't accept Don't wait for the storms to wreck me to show me how to sail who can listen to instructions while battling waves and hail Don't wait until the snake has stricken to tell me about the venoms for a dying man has no time and ears for caution then on Don't wait for the war to devastate and ruin to preach peace bombs would have deafened or the machetes cut me piece by piece Don't wait for me to plunge to ask me if I've worn a ****** like a kidnapper freeing hostages prior demanding for ransom Don't wait until I've dived into the Sea to ask whether I can swim Don't wait for the end of days to find out whether I believes in Him Don't wait until I'm bleeding to tell me about the beauty of scars or until a clear night to praise the beauty of stars Don't wait until I'm malnourished to bring me aid until I'm dead and gone to praise the words I said Don't wait for my life to flood to dredge the silt that wouldn't be kindness, that would either be mockery or guilt Don't wait for me to find someone to feelings for me admit Don't wait to offer a helping hand when I'm totally deadbeat why wait to raise a wall when you can fill the crevice you have something to do, to instill, to say, to caution, to give do it now while I smile, while I'm strong, while I live Don't speak about the adulterations after I've drunk from the chalice
