Emily
Michael W. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for a sign
To show you where to go
Lost, in a silent stare
Looking anywhere
For answers you don't know
[Chorus:]
Balancing your dreams
Hoping ends will meet their means
You feel alone
Uninspired
Well does it help you to
Know that I believe in you
You're an angel waiting for wings...Emily
You, going through this stage
It's a restless age
Young and insecure
Sill, there are doubts to fade
Moments to be made
And one of them is yours
[Chorus]
On the wire
Balancing your dreams
Hoping ends will meet their means
But you feel alone
Uninspired
Oh does it help you to
Know that I believe in you
You're an angel waiting for wings
Oh, you're an angel waiting for wings...Emily
