Waiting - by Thomas Hicks

This is bigger than nations.
Something too big for borders is happening here. This is more than relations. Something thicker than blood is pulling us near. Somewhere there is a hand that needs another to hold, And here I am with my hand empty. Across an ocean a cheek needs a good-night kiss, And these words are the kiss I’m sending. I am waiting for you, you are waiting for me, there is nothing but time between us. I’ve never met you but you are all I can see. I’m just praying that you can feel this. A tiny heart beats inside your little chest and every beat is in step with mine. If I could open my heart like a locket, a tiny picture of you is what we would find. Every morning I pray for your safety, And every night I ask for your peaceful sleep. And every morning when you wake wherever you are is another day closer to me. I am waiting for you, you are waiting for me, there is nothing but time between us. I’ve never met you but you are all I can see. I’m just praying that you can feel this, too… Everybody around the world sing “I need somebody to love”… From me to you, wherever you are, I am coming for you, I am coming with love… I am praying for you there waiting for me. Ten thousand miles is only a day. When the sun sets on you it rises on me. One day closer that you’ll come home to stay. I am waiting for you, you are waiting for me, there is nothing but time between us. I’ve never met you but you are all I can see. I’m just praying that you can feel this. ©2007 Thomas Hicks - All Rights Reserved

  1. I was surfing the internet today randomly looking for ideas in what families do during their "waiting time". I get this restless energy sometimes...and the wait drives me crazy!!! This father decided to write a song while he waits!!! Wow!!!

  2. Love the song! It is like the adoptive parents anthem...isn't it?

    Hoping you get your call too...Loved the comment about "eating for two"...Yes...it is time for this "pregnancy" to come to an end!

    Hope your wait is going smoothly!
