I've been
waiting and waiting.
and wanting
For so long.
For you to
reach out
and grab my hand.
And pull me up
onto my feet.

I've been needing
and wanting
for so long.
To walk away
from all that's
gone on and on.

I've been wishing
for so long,
for so long.
To just
get on
with this
life of mine.

Not knowing
where I'm going.
On my own,
all alone.

I've been feeling
so wrong,
for so long.
Wishing I could
just leave it all behind.
Not knowing
half the time.
Where I even
lost my mind.
One last time.

I've been
waiting and waiting
and wanting.
for so long.
For you to
reach out
and grab my hand.
And pull me up
onto my feet.
Knowing then,
I'll admit defeat
but I won't retreat.

I've been
waiting
for you to
call out
my name.
And grab my
hand
and hold It
tight.
And never
let go.
