not in this life

We have all waited
For the skies to open
For a sign
For destiny
For luck
We knew that something good
Was in store for us
Maybe love
Maybe success
Maybe riches
We were owned something 
Anything
There had to be a meaning
What we had
Counted for nothing
We never gave up
Hope
We were true believers
We waited
And waited
For something big
That never came
Not in this life
