Somewhere in time there's a light that will someday
Be a sign, for mankind
Our eyes we will find you and I...
Don't waste you time
With one of her kind
Were the words so sublime
Not being said
But to resign
What the heart and mind
Would no longer deny
Was a cause for dread
Come the day you awake to discover
That this day did not come for some other
Lies and hate
One day you'll find
Love - she waits
Don't you dismay
Someday you'll find
Love - she waits
Sure as sunlight brings an end to night
It can only be right
To begin again
Come the day you awake to discover
That this day did not come for some other
Life and faith
Someday you'll find
Love - she waits
Why not make haste
For beyond the clouds
Love - she waits
The song "She Waits" by Earth Wind & Fire speaks about the concept of destiny, and how one day we will all find love no matter how long we have to wait for it. In the first verse, the lyrics hint at a metaphysical connection between people that exists beyond time and space, and how love, as a natural force, can manifest itself in our lives if we are open to receiving it. The song suggests that love is not something that can be forced or rushed; instead, it comes to us when we are ready to receive and accept it.
The second verse of the song is a cautionary tale about not wasting your time with someone who may not be right for you, but rather waiting for the one who is destined to be with you. The lyrics acknowledge that the waiting process can be painful and cause fear, but they also offer hope that love will eventually find its way to us if we remain faithful and patient. The refrain of the song affirms this message, promising that "one day you'll find love - she waits."
In conclusion, "She Waits" is a soulful and introspective song about the power of love as a natural force that connects people across time and space. The song encourages us to trust in the power of destiny and to keep our hearts and minds open to the possibility of love.

Once again a typical example of why I will always love the EWF sound. Back then, now and forever!
James Cathey III
Zeta this is one of the reasons that its hard for me to attend current EWF concerts; Maurice was the truth! Particularly on the "Faces" CD and many of the CD's in the late 1970's and early 1980's.
