Wait...For...it?

I am the one thing in life I can control. I am an original. I am inimatable. I'm not falling behind or running late! I'm not standing still! I am lying in wait! ------ I want to be in the room where it happens.! In that big old room!!!!! The art of the compromise! Hold your nose and close your eyes! We want our leaders to save the day! But we don't get a say in what they trade away! We dream of a brand new start! But we dream in the dark for the most part! Dark as a tomb where it happens! I've got to be in the room where it happens! In that room! Click BOOM!!!!!!!!
