Still Waiting For The One
Still waiting for the one
An old dream still accompanies me,
unbetrayed.
Waiting for the one
When he appears
I will realize him immediately.
Still waiting for the one
That in his eyes
The world and its pain will be forgotten
For the one
That the mark of his lips
will drown within me forever
Still waiting, I won’t be afraid
Still grasping at the dream,
without falter
Waiting for the one
That was promised to me
in punctuated scripture
Still waiting, I won’t be afraid
Even if with time a cog is fouled,
Spirit without end is still within me
For the one
That the songbird of my soul
will tremble in his hand.
If there is love, if there is love
If there is love in the world
Where is it tonight?
If there is love, if there is love,
I will wait for it
until my days and nights are through.
Still waiting for the one,
Soft words are still waiting side by side
Waiting for the one
That will wave within me
the flag of rebellion
Still waiting, I won’t be afraid,
I will withstand the ridicule in silence
I will stand for him here straight in stature
For the one
That his heart and words match
just him alone.
If there is love, if there is love
If there is love in the world
Where is it tonight?
If there is love, if there is love,
I will wait for it
until my days and nights are through.
Still waiting for the one
An old dream still accompanies me,
unbetrayed.
Waiting for the one
When he appears
I will realize him immediately.
Still waiting for the one
That in his eyes
The world and its pain will be forgotten
For the one
That the mark of his lips
will drown within me forever
