Lyrics

WAITING FOR THE ANGELS

Lyric and Music by
McKinley Williams

I've been waiting for so long
From ocean to ocean... dream to song
I've been waiting though time moves on
And all I'm asking is to know that I belong

CHORUS:
I keep waiting...waiting for the angels
I keep waiting...waiting for the angels
And if they should call
I'll stand up tall
and I'll be one

I've been waiting for the dawn
but every corner I turn
the darkness rambles on
I've been trying for so long
'Cause what I'm searching for is
truth and wisdom
to light the road I'm ambling on

CHORUS: (same as first)

BRIDGE:

Touch me
free me from my dreaming
Hold me close before my time is gone
See me
through the pain and sadness
Light the night with your sight
and tell me why peace and freedom take so long

I've been waiting for so long
From sunrise to sunset...
yes, time passes on
I've been waiting for so long
I pray that you can show me
where we're going
and give me strength to face the dawn

CHORUS (same as first)
