A Skye To Remember Me By

WAITING

WAITING

If I look around all I can see
Are the faces of millions
Of the disheartened and lonely
In this encompassing darkness
There is no hope

If one small light can banish the dark
Why haven't you sent someone by now
I'm struggling here, nearly on my own
Hating this place, and dreaming of home

Grasping hands groping and gorging
On the waste we fill ourselves with
To fill the vacuum of our emptiness
All around me, I search for some good
And I find no meaning

If one small light can banish the dark
Why haven't you sent someone by now
I'm struggling here, nearly on my own
Hating this place, and dreaming of home

What's truly left of this world
That still pleases you to think of
When all I see is selfishness
People taking what they can get
And forgetting the One who blessed them

If one small light can banish the dark
Why haven't you sent someone by now
I'm struggling here, nearly on my own
Hating this place, and dreaming of home

When you decide to destroy
This chaotic bedlam
Look on me and the faithful few
Who have turned our faces
Away from the shame of this world
And waited to be claimed by our Father
