I have been waiting so long
I die everyday on my way there
and when i get there, what can I do?
I am what you call strange, don't wake up anymore,
my head is wandering, i cant sleep at night
Attacks and black Mondays
I am not a child anymore, I cannot ask my daddy anymore
I have dreams that chase me, follow me,
Like thunder and lightning form the sky
i like being a wolf, but earlier I was a sheep
But the snake and the rat inside me knew advice
put me in my place, because i knew it all along
How can it go wrong if you smell money
Between crazy, genius, everyone
You read my book and I write the story
with the blood from my pen to the end of the hallway
I am done, come get me, because I have been waiting for so long
CHORUS
I've been waiting for so long
for an answer nobody knows
I've been waiting for so long
But in vain, I am dying from life
I am tired of waiting
Can't keep quiet and drive myself crazy with thoughts anymore
Will I ever realise it?
I am lightheaded, numbed by dark forces
As a child I thought everything was good
I had no questions, so I never asked,
I believed in fairytales and in people
I was happy, I wished for nothing,
But now the time without sorrows is over
I ask myself what is the reason for me
that i am here, pffft what does it matter
what does it matter that I do what I do
And now as the time passes quicker than it used to
I ask myself wat is at the end
Does it matter that I do what I can?
Give me a sign, because I've been waiting for so long
CHORUS
I've been waiting for so long
for an answer nobody knows
I've been waiting for so long
But in vain, I am dying from life
I've been waiting for so long, but what for?
And why? I will see when it comes to it
But when death comes knocking and your world falls apart
Things must be done now before it is too late
And that is why I am busy, everything must be done fast
floating through life, looking for your purpose
You are looking for rest and test your happiness
You build something but suddenly it is broken
Perhaps I will reach 80 or stop at 40
But please no sooner because i still enjoy it
and so many things that i still want to do
I must let them know before I fall away into silence
Death goes hand in hand with life
and for the next -of -kin life goes on
I can only hope that I won't be forgotten
and that I end up on the right side of the gate to heaven.

Come from the country of Pim Fortuyn and Volkert van der G
The country of Theo van Gogh and Mohammed B
Come from the country of croquettes, frikadellers,
which you can even order on the spanish coast.
Come from the country where Air Maxnever went out of fashion.
Where they break you when you start to become sucessful.
Come from the country of The red, white, blue and the golden lion.
Plunder the world and we call it the golden era.
Come from the country of weed plantations and bicycle-4-days
The country where you can ask a junkie for a bike
The country that became a champion in '88
The country of eating herrings, dikes and canals.
Come from the country of Lange Fransie
This is the country where I come home to after a vacation.
Come from the country where I was born in 1982Where I lost my guilder to the eurosThe country that participates in the war in Iraq.
Because Uncle Bush has Balkenendein his pocket
The country of being stingy, because giving a round of drinks is too expensive.
The greasy food from Febo
you can pull them out of the wall
The country of fights between Ajax and Feyenoord
But when the Oranjeplays, Then we are all one!
The country of Johan Cruyff and Abe Lenstra
The legion will never let the lion down
The country where we hope for better weather everyday
That Piet Paulusma we don't trust him anymore!
The country that's been free since '45
The country where I stay, I love it there
Honestly
Come from the country, which you can drive through in 3 hours
With a different accent every 10 minutes
Come from the country where theoretically there's space for everyone
And ecstasy is the number 1 export
Come from the country where André Hazes
in over 100 years will still be the boss in every bar.

run the game.
Come from the country where hip-hop is a 30 year old child.
And you can decide for yourself how cool that is.
The country where when you get rich you'll have to pay a lot.
That will make you think, what's the use of this?
The country where prostitution and smoking weed is allowed.
The country of Sinterklaasand Queen's day
This is the country where I have lost and where I've been cheated on
Come from the country where I was born and raiaed
Come from the country with the most cultures on one square foot
But people are afraid to have dinner with their neighbours
And integration is a beautiful word
But shit, it's fucking bitter when nobody hears it
I share my country with turks and moroccans, antillieans, ambonesesand surinameses.
The country where we put way too much stuff together
And are represented world wide by Harry Potter
The country where apartheid is internationally the most well known word from the dutch language.
Come from the country that ticks like a time bomb
The country that eats at six o'clock and where the people are still on time.
This is the country where I will win in the end
Until you will sing this with us in the ArenA
Until that time I will have my heart waiting.
This is for The Netherlands, Baas B and Lange Frans
