Texty: Morgan Sheather. Why Are We Waiting.

Verse 1:
I can hear your smile at the end of the line,
I hear your laugh when you're not there.
I feel you next to me it's like living in yesterday
Though I know inside this life's not fair.

But nothing's new,
I'm still waiting on day waiting on a dream
Waiting cos I care, for you
Will be, I know
Waiting in the shadows of a dream and I'm not there
Will I ever see that day, again

Chorus:
It hurts I know,
So hard to show that you're waiting,
Why are we waiting?
Why can't they see in this life I lead,
I'll be waiting, always waiting
Can you rescue me?

Verse 2:
As your army rides away,
I will walk into the distance and await another day,
It's like a million new ways forward
When you only need the one
To go back to where you started
Turning slowly from the sun?

Chorus:
Oh, it hurts I know,
So hard to show that you're waiting,
Why are we waiting?
Why can't they see in this life I lead,
I'll be waiting, always waiting
Yeah

Coda:
They're waiting, their hearts as one,
The longest night, it has barely begun.
Out to fight a war that they didn't start,
Out to find a light that got lost in the dark.
It's amazing, what the world can do,
While you're waiting for a dream to come true
