Lyrics

i know that you’re waiting
but you don’t know what for

i know that you’re hating
being where you are

‘cause maybe you are wrong
to want the thing for which you long

and maybe you’re a fool
to think that it’s for you

it’s such a let down
that they just can’t figure out
that a smart man would give anything for you

 and it all makes you wonder
if something’s wrong with you

‘cause wouldn’t they be calling
if that wasn’t true

and if it just ain’t in the cards
then it really shouldn’t be this hard

and if it is then why the wait
no one else suffers this way

it’s such a let down
that we just can’t figure out
an answer that makes everything ok

but quietly God’s saying
what no one wants to hear

don’t worry ‘bout tomorrow
just know that I am near

cause if you’re starving half to death
you just want him to make some bread

and if you’re crying in your bed
you know that you just want somebody’s arm behind your head

and it’s such a let down
that he just won’t come on out
and give somebody to you here and now

but there is something deeper
than the words your Daddy speaks

cause there are tears right in his eyes
and streaming down his cheeks

cause if you’re crying so is he
with the girl he loves more than anything

and if you can’t sleep he’s awake
arms around you till daybreak

and to such a let down
his love right here and now
Says I know it hurts but I will get you through
