Nothing to Do

Nothing to do

Sitting, watching,
Staying, standing.
Nothing to do - but wait.

Give me an occupation
Or I shall scratch my eyes out,
And dull a length of the floor
Where my paces have tread.

Sitting, watching,
Staying, standing.
Nothing to do - but wait.

I must do something,
Something to help, something to heal,
Something to stop you
From dying in front of my eyes.

Sitting, watching,
Staying, standing
Nothing to do - but wait.

Were I a great doctor I could help
Were I a great scientist I would find a cure
But I am neither of these, I am just a great friend
So here I am -

Sitting, watching,
Staying, standing
Nothing to do - but wait.
