    Words and Music by Dawn Xiana Moon

    71 years ago I was a child
    we stood before all, pledged the rest of our lives
    he said that he loved me and built us a house
    I still remember with clarity his eyes

    78 years ago I grew old too fast
    the men at the door pushed their way in
    he told me to run but he stayed behind
    I still remember with clarity his eyes

    I’ve been waiting

    7 years ago I learned to forgive
    set all the bitterness finally free
    like Jacob wrestling my own lonely night
    all of these years I’ve been asking why

    I’ve been waiting

    today at last you gave a reply
    when this child with his parents came in
    in 84 years I’ve never laughed for joy
    the way I did when you came in

    I’ve been waiting for you
