I played a waiting game where I waste my time
I let my dreams die young ‘cause I misread the signs
Signs it might be over, signs I’m not so young
I’m not so young
He was a mountain boy, there he walked the line
He’ll stay forever young, he did not read the signs
Signs within the weather, signs this is the end
You know it was his end
War was a trial by fire, falling from the skies
War would not break his pride, because he read the signs
Signs it could not last long, he knew they would now overcome
The faithful held their heads high
His homeland would endure
He knew they would endure
So I quit my waiting game and I don’t waste no time
I keep my dreams alive and now I read the signs
Now I read the signs, now I read the signs
