Don't Wait Animate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lonely one of young so brokenhearted
Traveling down the rigid road of life
Using pharmaceutical extractions
To find the paradise
Finds the high but comes down feeling lower
Gets down on their knees and starts to pray
Looking up to heaven for the answer
They hear a voice that says

You will know
Troubled heart you′ll know
Problems have solutions
Trust and I will show
Oh-oh, you will know
Troubled heart you'll know
Every life has reason, for I made it so

Single parent trying to raise their children
But they would much rather not alone
Reaches out to find that special someone
To make their house a home
Finds someone but no one is the right one
Gets down on their knees and starts to pray
Looking up to heaven for the answer
They hear a voice that says

You will know
Lonely heart you′ll know
Problems have solutions
Trust and I will show
Yeah, yeah
You will know
Lonely heart you'll know
Every life has reason for I made it so

You'll know
Troubled heart you′ll know
Problems have solutions
Trust and I will show
Yeah, yeah
You will know
Troubled heart you′ll know
Every life has reason for I made it so

You'll know, woah-oh
You will know, oh-oh
Lonely heart you′ll know
Problems have solutions
Trust and I will show
Yeah, yeah

(You will know) you will know
You will know (lonely heart you'll know)
You will know, you will know, you will know
Every life has reason for I made it so




You′ll know
Lonely heart you'll know
