So long waiting for you, wrong for debating loyalty to your royalty,
Is it for me to say I will see you today than to serve as you deserve?
Or shall I complain of the pain of absence as if it were an offense?
Or be so bold to say your hold on me is completely voluntary?
No, no, I will wait while I satiate my appetite with religious rites,
Crowing toward heaven, knowing you hear, wanting you near,
Burning incense, feeling intense, not wanting to cause offense,
So long waiting for you . . .
So long waiting for you . . .
