We stand in line the day we're born
While waiting to see the earth
We stand in  line to stand in line
While learning of our worth

We stand in line for heartache
Whenever it's our turn
We stand in line to seek the truth
While trying our best to learn

We stand in line to say goodbye
When someone passes away
We stand in line to welcome love
While trying not to stray

We stand in line to see the future
While standing in line to die
We stand in line for answers
While never questioning why

We stand in line to see Heaven
While standing at the gate
We stand in line to leave this world
While learning how to wait
