Testo I Am Waiting - Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Testo della canzone I Am Waiting (Lawrence Ferlinghetti), tratta dall'album A Coney Island Of The Mind

I am waiting

I am waiting for my case to come up

And I am waiting for a rebirth of wonder

And I am waiting for someone to really discover America and wail

And I am waiting for the discovery of a new symbolic western frontier

And I am waiting for the American eagle to really

Spread its wings and straighten up and fly right

And I am waiting for the war to be fought

Which will make the world safe for anarchy

And I am waiting for the final withering away of all governments

And I am perpetually waiting a rebirth of wonder

And I am waiting for the second coming

And I am waiting for the grapes of wrath to be stored

And I am waiting for them to prove that God is really American

And I am waiting to see God on television piped onto church altars

If only they can find the right channel to tune in on

And I am waiting for the last supper to be

Served again with a strange new appetizer

And I am waiting for my number to be called

And I am waiting for the Salvation Army to take over

And I am waiting for the meek to be

Blessed and inherit the earth without taxes

And I am waiting for forests and

Animals to reclaim the earth as theirs

And I am waiting for a way to be devised to

Destroy all nationalisms without killing anybody

And I am waiting for limits and planets to fall like rain

And I am waiting for lovers and weepers to lie down together again

In a new rebirth of wonder

And I am waiting for the great divide to be crossed

And I am anxiously waiting for the secret of eternal

Life to be discovered by an obscure general practitioner

And I am waiting for the storms of life to be over

And I am waiting to set sail for happiness

And I am waiting for a reconstructed Mayflower to reach America

With its picture story and TV rights sold in advance to the natives

And I am waiting for the lost music

To sound again in the lost continent

In a new rebirth of wonder

And I am waiting for the day that maketh all things clear

And I am waiting retribution for what America did to Tom Sawyer

And I am waiting for the American boy to take

Off beauty's clothes and get on top of her

And I am waiting for Alice in Wonderland to

Retransmit to me her total dream of innocence

And I am waiting for Aphrodite to grow live

Arms at a final disarmament conference

In a new rebirth of wonder

And I am waiting to get some intimations of

Immortality by recollecting my early childhood

And I am waiting for the green mornings to come again

Youth's dumb green fields come back again

And I am waiting for some strains of

Unpremeditated art to shake my word processor

And I am waiting to write the great indelible poem

And I am waiting for the last long careless rapture

And I am perpetually waiting for the fleeing lovers on

The Grecian urn to catch each other up at last and embrace

And I am waiting perpetually and forever a renaissance of wonder
