If ever you are feeling like you’re tired
And all your uphill struggles leave you headed downhill
If you realize your wildest dreams can hurt you
And your appetite for pain has drinken its fill
I ask of you a very simple question
Did you think for one minute that you are alone
And is your suffering a privilege you share only
Or did you think that everybody else feels completely at home
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
If you think I’ve given up on you you’re crazy
And if you think I don’t love you well then you’re just wrong
In time you just might take to feeling better
Time is the beauty of the road being long
I know that now you feel no consolation
But maybe if I told you and informed you out loud
I say this without fear of hesitation
I can honestly tell you that you make me proud
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
If anything I might have just said has helped you
If anything I might have just said helped you just carry on
Your rise uphill may no longer seem a struggle
And your appetite for pain may all but be gone
I hope for you and cannot stop at hoping
Until that smile has once again returned to your face
There’s no such thing as a failure who keeps trying
Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come

The audio is messed up on this song. It clicks. Sounds like the file has degraded. Might want to consider replacing it since it is such a great song.

My girlfriend played this song for me 17 years ago when I was going through a rough time, it helped beyond measure, she was amazing like that. Sadly she was killed in bus accident a couple weeks ago while vacationing in South America… I’ve since sent this song to her mom, I know that it will help… oh the healing power of music. Thank you guys.

I have always loved this song, now I get to share it with my husband.
John Popper, you are incredibly talented and truly amazing! Thank you for sharing your heart with the rest of us!

This song has held a special place in my heart as I have dedicated “Just Wait” to my four beautiful children Lindsay, Travis, Leah and Taylor. As our family has struggled with drug addiction I embrace my children and myself with your song as my prayer for/to them. I love you guys, you are awesome!
