Waiting For You
Sheila E. & The E.Train Lyrics

So she tells her man lets go fishin
A woman suggests to her partner to go fishing together.

Well go tommorow morning when the sun rise..
The woman agrees to go fishing the next morning when the sun rises.

And then she says she wants to take her kids and (baby cries)
The woman wants to take her children, including her crying baby.

Thats her boy thats 12 and her daughter thats 4 with angel eyes
The woman describes her children, a 12-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl with beautiful eyes.

So they get there and the sun has barely risen
Upon arriving at the fishing spot, the sun has only just begun to rise.

Decided on a spot where the fish is plentiful with the tide
They agreed to fish in a location with plenty of fish as the tide comes in.

Get out their poles daddy smiles and said the fish is jumpin
Dad gets the fishing poles out and is pleased to see that the fish are biting.

Then they heard a splash but it sounded bigger than fish size
They hear a loud splash that sounds much bigger than normal fish.

12 yr old screams mom
The 12-year-old boy screams for his mother's attention.

And mom screams back
The mother responds to her child's scream.

The baby was holdin your arm
The woman's baby was holding onto the 12-year-old boy's arm.

Well that was 30 seconds ago
The situation occurred 30 seconds prior to the current moment.

So they jumped in
They all jump into the water.

All comin up with nothin
They all resurface with nothing in their hands.

Something told mom to look toward the light
The mother has a sudden feeling to swim towards the light.

But the sun wasn't yellow
The sun wasn't its customary yellow color.

It had turned white
The sun had changed to a white hue.

So she listen and swam
The mother listens to her intuition and starts swimming.

She swam for the light
The mother swims towards the light.

Like the Michelin man
She swims powerfully towards the light, like the Michelin man.

She spotted the baby
She sees her baby in the distance.

And she was on her back
The baby is floating on her back.

Just as the light said 'Sunrise was Heaven's track'
The mother hears a voice from the light saying that the sunrise is the way to get to heaven.

She turned the baby over her eyes were still blue
The mother flips the baby onto their stomach and sees that their eyes are still blue.

Baby had a smile and said...
The baby has a smile and speaks.

"I was waitin for you!"
The baby says to the mother that they were waiting for her.

Mom I was waitin for you!
The baby repeats to the mother that they were waiting for her.

Your baby!
The baby is referring to themselves as the mother's baby.

Momma!
The baby calls the mother "Momma".

I love you!
The baby expresses love to the mother.

Heyyyyy
An expression of happiness or excitement.

I was waitin for you..
The baby repeats again that they were waiting for the mother.

I was waiting for you..
The baby repeats again that they were waiting for the mother.

Momma..
The baby calls the mother "Momma" again.

I was waiting for you..
The baby repeats again that they were waiting for the mother.

I love you ma..
The baby expresses love to the mother with the word "ma".
