She Waits Lyrics

Dressed in chains, now she waits 

Looking back upon that day 

When the dawn first held its gaze 

Upon the son and the daughter's face 

But strange now it seems 

Like some dark and distant dream 

Still she hopes and longs to be 

Once again, and finally free 

So she waits, she waits 

She waits, she waits 

She's seen empires come and go 

Watched the kingdom's children grow 

Sparks and embers far from home 

Born to shine, and to behold 

'Cause on her chain is a lock and the key 

Is the radiance she will see 

From the light that's gonna be 

Cast from the sons and the daughters free 

So she waits, she waits 

She she waits, she waits 

She's a captive till she sees 

By the morning light 

Redeemed sons and daughters 

So she waits, she waits 

She waits, she waits 

So she waits, she waits 

She waits, she waits 

It's been a long time comin' 

But she hopes and she hopes for 

It's been a long time comin' 

But she hopes and she hopes for
