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
So 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 waits
So she waits, she waits
She waits


She's a captive 'til she sees
By the morning light
Redeemed sons and daughters

She waits, she waits
She waits
She waits, she waits
She waits
She waits, she waits
She waits
She waits, she waits
She waits

It's been a long time coming
But she hopes and she hopes for
It's been a long time coming
But she hopes and she hopes for
