Standing and Waiting

 

Standing outside in the cold

In the pitch blackness of night

I feel my desire unfold

I feel so real and so right

 

Take me away, take me high

Hear my prayers, my calls, my pleas

Give me my wings, let me fly

Let me seek my fantasies

 

Let me feel the sea breeze in my face

I want to smell that ocean air

I want to feel your warm embrace

Don’t you know that I still care

 

I stand here in the pouring rain

Wanting you to help me free

Waiting for you to ease the pain

Waiting for you to be the destiny for me
