Lyrics

The Waiting Room

Feels like I’ve been sitting in a waiting room
Waiting for my life to start
As the years roll by in this empty tomb
Feels like I’ve fallen out of touch with my heart
I remember how I used to feel
Who I was and who I wanted to be
But I see now where that road was leading me
Now I’m waiting to find a new dream

CHORUS:
Oh I know this is just the darkest part of night before dawn
This is just the silence of the pause in a song
This is just the lonely hour before I belong
And it won’t last, it’ll soon pass
And the life that I’ve been longing for will show

These four walls are so familiar
They’ve been a safe place, a chrysalis, a womb
But new life is stirring, trying to break through
And I know that I’ll be leaving soon

CHORUS

I can see it in the distance
Feel it on the breeze
I can sense it in my spirit when I’m praying on my knees
A new life, a new beginning
Is just around the bend
And all these years of waiting soon will end

CHORUS

Feels like I’ve been sitting in a waiting room
Waiting for my life to start...
