Shining in the eyes of every child
And in the flame of dawn reflecting on the open sea
In every fury and every love
You are awaiting me

But what about the child who cannot breathe
Or the gentle sage who won't see the age of thirty-two?
I am awaiting
I am awaiting you

Light it all and burn it to the ground!
Go ahead and let your thunder sound!
Let me watch my loves and my teachers slowly fade away
I'll just have to wait another day

Maybe in God we trust just a lucky charm
Maybe faith is only hoping that we can rise anew
And so I rise and so I stand
I am awaiting you, oh
I will still be standing here awaiting you

Light it all and burn it to the ground!
Go ahead and let your thunder sound!
Let me watch my loves and my teachers slowly fade away
I'll just have to wait another day
And so I rise and so I stand
I am awaiting
I am awaiting you
Awaiting you, oh
I will still be standing here awaiting you
