Wait Songtext
von Sinking Ships

Okay. The world presents some problems and we don′t know what to do.
You've come to find your feelings aren′t exactly what you knew.
The odds are stacked quite poorly if without a winning hand.
But bear in mind your farings only worse if you don't,

Chin Up! Don't bet on sinking ships because they′ll turn your chips to trash.
You′ve got to set your sights and hopes on setting not to crash.
The truth can seem quite bleak if you don't make your plans unfurl.
But I would not let that mar my opinion of the-

Fact is that if you could fix the failings of the current paradigm, we would have a hero who′s both been elusive and on time.
Just one time. And then, We would all contrive new conflict!

Chin Up! Don't bet on sinking ships because they′ll turn your chips to trash.
You've got to set your sights and hopes on setting not to crash.
The truth can seem quite bleak if you don′t make your plans unfurl.
But I would not let that mar my opinion of the world!

-Spoken-

(Applebloom) This coming from the pony who's been up everyones butt moping for three months.

(Rainbow Dash) Well they let me take time off work for my emotional recovery so-

(Applebloom) Hey, that's completely appalling.

(Rainbow Dash) Well I do blame myself and feel badly, and my job sucks. Look, I′m not saying to follow your heart or something dumb like that. Just,


-Singing-

Chin Up! Don′t bet on sinking ships because they'll turn your chips to trash.
You′ve got to set your sights and hopes on setting not to crash.
The truth can seem quite bleak if you don't make your plans unfurl.
But I would not let that mar my opinion of the-

Stipulations placed before you to get all the things you really need.
Mr. Big may make things hard but you have got to plant your seeds.
Go to war. Fight more. Your dreams thrive by competition.
You′ll find no one famous ever got there just by flinching at their foes,
Cling against the torment, claw with all your might are what you know.
Don't let go, just grow!
Don′t wait or play to indecision!

Chin Up! Don't bet on sinking ships because you've got to be more grand.
You′ve got to think ahead and carry out the things you′ve planned.
The truth can be of use when you can see where falsehoods lay.
Don't quit on hopes or dreams when you have simply got to-

Chin Up! Don′t be on sinking ships because they'll only drag you down.
You′ve got to keep on sailing even when you want to frown.
The world will keep on turning without matter where you land.
You might as well be running when your feet should hit the sand.


-Spoken-

(Applebloom) Okay, so what you're saying is that the world is going to screw us left and right anyways, so we may as well screw the world right back.

(Rainbow Dash) No, I′m saying the world is a hard place, and if you need a leg up, I can be there. But I think you'll be ok if you keep working hard and trying new strategies. Really I just want you to,

-Singing-

Chin Up! Don't bet on sinking ships because you′ve got to be more grand.
You′ve got to think ahead and carry out the things you've planned.
The truth can be of use when you can see where falsehoods lay.
Don′t quit on hopes or dreams when you have simply got to-

Chin Up! Don't be on sinking ships because they′ll only drag you down.
You've got the means to live and it needs merely to be found.
