Don't want to wake up today
It's already raining
And I'm thirty minutes late
And my ride got mad and left me
I know he hates to wait
It's gonna (yeah) be a long, long day
Lord, I thought there'd be much more than this
I'm not asking for rollercoasters
Some peaceful state of bliss
I thought by now I'd be killing giants
Walking on the waves
Just wanna get started
We've got a world to save
Chorus:
If I could sit
Just for a while and talk with you
I need to feel you near me
I need to know you're by my side
I need to hear your voice tonight
I need to know you hear my cry
If you just write
Across the sky my destiny
Maybe then I'd see it
Then I would trust you all these rainy days
When I can't see through the haze
It sure would ease the wait
Just trying to figure this all out
Lord my heart is soft and willing
My mind is full of doubt
And I cry out for your direction
Smothered the spark with questions
Please
If I could sit
For a while and talk with you
I need to feel you near me
I need to know you're by my side
I need to hear your voice tonight
I need to know you hear my cry
If you just write
Across the sky my destiny
Maybe then I'd see
And I'd trust you all these rainy days
When I can't see through the haze
It sure would ease the wait
Musical Interlude
If I could sit
Just for a while and talk with you
I need to feel you near me
Need to know you're by my side
I need to hear your voice tonight
I need to know you hear my cry
If you just write
Across the sky my destiny
Maybe then I'd see
And I'd trust you all these rainy days
When I can't see through the haze
Sure would ease the wait
Ease the wait
