I’ve waited on the dawn Through some dark and lonely nights Oh and I’ve been down on my knees Without a hope in sight I’ve been lost along the way I stumbled and I fell I guess you don’t know what heaven is Until you’ve been through hell
Every dream that came undone Every time I got off track Every wrong turn that I took On a road that led me back To the place that I belong To the heart I waited on Everything that I was searching for Was right here all along You make me believe that God’ll give you what you need Even when you think you ain’t got a prayer Girl you’re the living proof That somebody’s listening up there
All those never ending days That it took me to find you Baby it was worth the wait To see your love come shining through And I know the reason For all the times I got it wrong I was just waiting on the right one To turn the dark into the dawn
Every dream that came undone Every time I got off track Every wrong turn that I took On a road that led me back To the place that I belong To the heart I waited on Everything that I was searching for Was right here all along You make me believe that God’ll give you what you need Even when you think you ain’t got a prayer Girl you’re the living proof That somebody’s listening up there Somebody’s listening up there
