The Gray Havens - She Waits
21
Copied!
{Verse 1}
Dressed in chains, now she waits
Looking back upon that day
When the dawn first held its gaze
Upon the son and the daughter's face
{Verse 2}
But strange now it seems
Like some dark and distant dream
Still, she hopes and longs to be
Once again, and finally free
{Chorus}
So she waits, she waits
She waits
So she waits, she waits
She waits
{Verse 3}
She's seen empires come and go
Watched the kingdom's children grow
Sparks and embers far from home
Born to shine, and to behold
{Verse 4}
'Cause on her chain is a lock and the key
Is the radiance she will see
From the light that's gonna be
Cast from the sons and the daughters free
{Chorus}
So she waits, she waits
She waits
So she waits, she waits
She waits
{Interlude}
{Bridge}
She's a captive 'til she sees
By the morning light
Redeemed sons and daughters
{Chorus}
She waits, she waits
She waits
She waits, she waits
She waits
She waits, she waits
She waits
She waits, she waits
She waits
{Outro}
It's been a long time coming
But she hopes and she hopes for
It's been a long time coming
But she hopes and she hopes for
{Verse 1}
Dressed in chains, now she waits
Looking back upon that day
When the dawn first held its gaze
Upon the son and the daughter's face
{Verse 2}
But strange now it seems
Like some dark and distant dream
Still, she hopes and longs to be
Once again, and finally free
{Chorus}
So she waits, she waits
She waits
So she waits, she waits
She waits
{Verse 3}
She's seen empires come and go
Watched the kingdom's children grow
Sparks and embers far from home
Born to shine, and to behold
{Verse 4}
'Cause on her chain is a lock and the key
Is the radiance she will see
From the light that's gonna be
Cast from the sons and the daughters free
{Chorus}
So she waits, she waits
She waits
So she waits, she waits
She waits
{Interlude}
{Bridge}
She's a captive 'til she sees
By the morning light
Redeemed sons and daughters
{Chorus}
She waits, she waits
She waits
She waits, she waits
She waits
She waits, she waits
She waits
She waits, she waits
She waits
{Outro}
It's been a long time coming
But she hopes and she hopes for
It's been a long time coming
But she hopes and she hopes for
