Waiting

Here I lay, here I am, here I wait
Waiting for you
I lay here thinking and thinking
Why don’t you see?
See me for me…
So
Here I lay, here I am, here I wait
I have no choice
But to wait here for you
Helpless and innocent
A fragile little girl
Shy as can be
Wanting something true
Here I lay, here I am, here I wait
I’ve been cold a long time
Waiting for you to bring me life
Know what it is to be loved
Know how it feels to depend on another
Know what it is to be happy again
There is no need to mime
Here I lay, here I am, here I wait
I yearn for a sense of security
Your arms around me to keep me safe
For your hands fit mine like a glove
Shelter me from the world
Show me the beautiful things in life
Be the light to my world
Until then my love
Here I lay, here I am, here I wait…
