The Wonder of Waiting Lyrics

Boring, mundane

I keep waiting for something to happen

The clock keeps on ticking

I focus on what I am lacking

Humdrum and gray

The rain clouds haven't lifted since morning

Stuck here all day here

Without any reason or warning

But no choice to make

So here I'll wait

Maybe it took being willing to listen

To ponder in my heart what you had written

To give up on what kept me distracted

To say grace for everything I took for granted

Maybe I don't know the things I don't know

Maybe it's good to have nowhere to go

And everything I thought I wanted is fading

I found what I need

That's the wonder of waiting

Maybe it takes

Closing all of the doors and the windows

Letting the time pass

Without asking where does the time go

Filling a blank page

With words that now write out a love song

Waking up early

To marvel and welcome the rising sun

Now I love this place

So here I'll wait

Maybe it took being willing to listen

To ponder in my heart what you had written

To give up on what kept me distracted

To say grace for everything I took for granted

Maybe I don't know the things I don't know

Maybe it's good to have nowhere to go

And everything I thought I wanted is fading

I found what I need

That's the wonder of waiting

And in my fragile faith

I had to wait

I would have kept

Coming and going and running and speaking and chasing

While you sat there waiting for me to just hear you

But you welcome me back again

My long-lost friend

Maybe it took being willing to listen

To ponder in my heart what you had written

To give up on what kept me distracted

To say grace for everything I took for granted

Maybe I don't know the things I don't know

Maybe it's good to have nowhere to go

And everything I thought I wanted is fading

I found what I need

Oh I found what I need

I certainly don't know the things I don't know

But I know it's good to have nowhere to go

And everything I thought I wanted is fading

I found what I need

That's the wonder of waiting.
