Waiting

Once alone and too afraid of strangers knocking on my door and
Well you came in I knew you'd win
I was sitting on the front porch swinging
And waiting
I tried walking with you in mind
But looking down saw my feet were tied
Got to thinking that how easy it could be
But then the fear and the chains became a part of me
And waiting
Always waiting
For my ride to pick me up on my time
Seems I'm staying
As the others cross the finish lines
I could break into day I could set into speed
But to tell you the truth I'm always waiting
Always waiting
Caged in like the beautiful view
And I was waiting for the night when I could soar with you
But when you picked me up released me to fly
I found I couldn't hold my own wings dry
And waiting
Always waiting
For my ride to pick me up on my time
Seems I'm staying
As the others cross the finish lines
I could break into day I could set into speed
But to tell you the truth I'm always waiting
Always waiting
(Don't want to fly)
Always waiting
For my ride please pick me up tonight
I can't stay here
I know I can see the finish line
So I'll break into day and I'll set into speed
But are you driving away are you driving to me?
To tell you the truth I'm always waiting
Always
Always we must find our ways
Always
All I could do was drive away
Always
