It can happen at any time
Even when we least expect it
No one can tell exactly when it will happen
Or who will do it
All we can do is wait

Some people want it
Some people don't
Some people don't understand
Some people do it themselves
And for some it happens over a period of time
All we can do is wait

It can take us by surprise
When everything is all better and it happens
It is inevitable
This will happen to everyone within a matter of time
All we can do is wait
