We Are Waiting
C Am
Lining up for the race—your heart was pounding
C AM Em
Feel the wind on your face, the whistle sounding
F G C
Learning your own pace, and then you found it—
F G C AM
Ending like a dream, and everything you’d seen
F G C
Were memories in silent, futile space.
C Am
Now I’m afraid of all the gathering rage.
C Am Em
Trembling with the earth beneath your angst
F G C
Three billion sleep, but so impatiently
F G C Am
Restless for the game, destined to be great
F G C
This prelude is just something of a wait.
C Am Em C Am Em
We are waiting. We are waiting. We are waiting all night long.
Am Em F G C
We are waiting, we are waiting. We are waiting for the dawn.
C Am
I heard your whispers all around my head
C Am Em
Saw your face alive, but somehow dead
F G C
Knew the fear would keep you, keep from your rest
F G C Am
Agreed with your request to open an inquest
F G C
Heard the promise, “even this will end.”
C Am
The Poet wrote a twist into the play
C Am Em
The wait will end, and on the seventh day
F G C
He’ll lead you out to win, win and celebrate.
F G C Am
You will see the day that mocks the unjust grave
F G C
This prelude is just something of a wait.
