about

“This song was written while sitting in a waiting room for my bandmate in a pediatric cancer clinic in New York City. Between the battle for his life and an intense breakup I just had, I was in a terrible space. As I was waiting, a volunteer clown came in and started making all the kids laugh. That moment shook me — seeing sick children finding joy helped me find my own joy amid the darkness. Breakups and cancer are not contagious, but love is. The lyrics for this song were written right then in the fluorescent lights of the waiting room.”
- HNRY FLWR

lyrics

Sitting in the waiting room of the great beyond
There is no room for pettiness here
When our bodies betray us we think
watching, waiting, “punished for nothing”

In the great waiting room there is no breeze but
infinite wind, brings us to our knees
When you come to terms with everything
Who will, be there, to take you in?
Feel the Love

Who will you push out, when the pain comes in?
There ain’t enough room for the both of us
Is that nirvana, has the balance been struck?
The lowest, of lows, slingshotting you up

You are weary, please get some rest
You will not find it, in another man’s bed
And when the time comes, and that’s what time does
You’ll be, ready, to feel the love
Feel the love

Sitting in the waiting room of the great beyond
Imagine I’m there, holding your hand
In the last waiting room, there is no breeze
Then I’ll blow your hair from off your ears

And sinking into your waiting room chair
You’ll feel this strange new blood in your veins
Flush from sickness, or love all the same
We’ll be, as one, when we hear our name

Feel the Love
Come on baby we can be as one
Giving in doesn’t mean you're giving up
Feel the Love
