Well I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun

But I'll kneel down
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground

And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

So break my step
And relent
You forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way
Shake the excess

'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So take my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind free from the lies

And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
I'll kneel down
Know my ground, woo

Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow

'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

    My Opinion

    I hate religion, god and all that jesus christ crap.

    But, I like this bands music. It's original. It's not overly preachy. The only thing bad about them is their sound will get boring one day and they will be has-beens.

    This song is weird because the guy falls into someone's arms. As a guy, women fall into my arms and not vice versa. If I were emo, I guess that is how it would be (falling into a woman's arms). But, if he's speaking from the woman's perspective, there you go.

    As far as waiting, what are they waiting for? A platinum record? I think they are waiting for the baby boy to pop. A new kid. A freakin baby. She's pregnant!

    All the other lyrics are about wanting to be a good father. Too bad there aren't many out there right now.
