I didn’t know then
Why they were crying out
What they were yearning for
I didn’t really know
Who was covering our eyes
Who was covering our ears
Truth bracing for the pain
Justice bracing for the death
Waiting
Waiting for
Waiting for the day
I didn’t know then
It would be a tragic history
A time wet with tears
I didn’t really know
Who was covering our eyes
Who was covering our ears
Truth bracing for the pain
Justice bracing for the death
Waiting
Waiting for
Waiting for the day
The moments yearning for that day to come
Has that day finally come for us?
Waiting
Waiting for
Waiting for the day
Waiting
Waiting for
Waiting for the day
