Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My soul is yearnin'
And I'm longin', too
See my day turnin'
See me breakin' through
[Verse 2]
My time is comin' soon
So I'm waitin'
I'll be waitin' for you
My friend
[Verse 3]
My load a burden
That I carry, too
Might be mine, hurtin'
All the things that I do
[Verse 4]
My time is comin' soon
So I'm waitin'
I'll be waitin' for you
My friend
[Verse 5]
Ooh, will it stay?
Ooh, will it?
Ooh, will it break
For me?
[Verse 6]
A toll has taken
All the song that's in me
The road they're makin'
Won't take me where I should be
[Verse 7]
My song is comin' soon
So I'm waitin'
I'll be waitin'
Always waiting for you
My friend
