I Will Wait
Mumford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun
But I'll kneel down
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
So break my step
And relent
You forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way
Shake the excess
'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So take my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind free from the lies
And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
I'll kneel down
Know my ground
Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow
'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

Well I came home
I returned to you
Like a stone
I came back to you feeling heavy and unfeeling
And I fell heavy into your arms
I wanted to be comforted by you
These days of dust
Our troubled times
Which we've known
We have experienced before
Will blow away with this new sun
We can start anew and move forward
But I'll kneel down
I will humble myself
Wait for now
Be patient with me
And I'll kneel down
I will show my devotion
Know my ground
Understand where I stand in this relationship
And I will wait, I will wait for you
I am committed to waiting for you
So break my step
Challenge me and make me grow
And relent
Forgive me when I make mistakes
You forgave and I won't forget
I am grateful for your forgiveness
Know what we've seen
Acknowledge what we've experienced together
And him with less
Be content with what we have, not what others possess
Now in some way
In our own unique way
Shake the excess
Let go of what we don't need, and focus on what is important
'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
I am steadfast in my commitment to wait for you
Now I'll be bold
I will act with bravery and courage
As well as strong
I will be both physically and emotionally strong
And use my head alongside my heart
I will make decisions with both logic and emotion
So take my flesh
Accept all of me, both good and bad
And fix my eyes
Help me to see clearly
A tethered mind free from the lies
A stable and truthful mindset
Raise my hands
Show my devotion outwardly
Paint my spirit gold
Make my soul pure and valuable
And bow my head
Show my humility
Keep my heart slow
Stay calm and focused on what is important
'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
My commitment to wait for you remains strong
And I will wait, I will wait for you
I will continue to wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
I will be patient and steadfast in my commitment to you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
Waiting for you is worth it to me
