Waiting For
After Lyrics

Walking through the halls of a desperate place
I am in a space filled with desperation and hopelessness, walking through the halls surrounded by others who share the same feeling

I see it on the faces
The pain and hopelessness is evident on the faces of all those who are here

All the mothers
Even the mothers who are supposed to be strong for their children are struggling in this place

All the fathers
Even the fathers who are supposed to be protectors and providers are broken here

Searching for some faith
Everyone here is looking for something to hold onto, something to believe in that can give them hope in this desperate place

Here I am
I am one of them, I am in this place of desperation too

My world inside a broken frame
My life is in disarray, everything is falling apart and I am struggling to keep it together

Still waiting for an answer
I am still searching for something to give me hope and help me through this difficult time

Every day I’m getting closer
Despite the pain and the struggles, I am making progress, I am moving forward and getting closer to finding what I need

The more it hurts
The more I am in pain and struggling in this place of desperation

The more I need of You
The more I need something to believe in, something to hold onto to give me hope and help me through

The more I search
The more I look for answers, the more I try to find something to believe in

The more I see of You
The more I start to see signs of hope, the more I start to see that there might be something worth believing in

I don’t have to know how
I don't need to understand everything, I don't need to know how it will all work out, I just need to believe

Or see You turn this around
I don't need to see everything turn around for me to believe, I just need to have faith

To believe in You
To believe in something greater than myself, something that can give me hope in this difficult place

To believe in You now…
To believe in You in this very moment, despite everything that is going on around me

Walking through the streets that money built
I am in a place where money and material possessions are everything, walking through these streets and feeling lost

Every castle has a hill
Even those who seem to have it all have their struggles, their own hills to climb

All the dreams, all the chasers cages waiting to be filled
Everyone here is chasing a dream, trying to fill a void, but it feels like they are trapped in a cage

Can I be stronger than my will
Can I find the strength within myself to overcome my struggles and find hope, even when it seems impossible?

The tears we cry from all our pain
The pain we feel is so great that it brings us to tears, it is a constant struggle

You won’t let them go to waste
But even in our pain, there is purpose. Our tears are not for nothing, they will not be wasted

An aching heart will know Your face…
Even when we are in pain, when our hearts ache, we will find God, we will find hope

Through every night, through every fear
Even in the darkest of times, in our most fearful moments, God is with us

You’re by my side, I know You’re here
We are never alone, we have God by our side, giving us strength and hope in the difficult times

And in this life, I’m not alone
Despite our struggles, despite the pain we feel, we are not alone. We have God and we have each other
