Song Description

A song about willpower and surrender, about finally trusting that someone else can help.

Lyrics

My mama always told me, 'Time never waits!
You have to earn your place inside heaven's gates'
My papa always told me, 'Grab hold of each day!
And let no person, place or thing ever stand in your way'

I trusted what they taught me even when my heart forgot me
I worked until my knuckles bled
I trusted what they taught me even when my heart forgot me
The voices in my head...But I say

After the riots I have run, after the wars I've fought and won
After the fears I've overcome, after it's all been said and done
Yes, I've given it my all...
Now I'll WAIT FOR THE CALL

My mama always told me, 'Nothing comes for free:
You have to build your own ship and sail across the sea'
My papa always told me, 'Rely on no one else
'Cause in the end, it's true, you only have yourself'

I trusted every word, didn't question what I heard
Deadlines and dead ends
I trusted every word, didn't question what I heard
The rules I could not bend...But I say

After the riots I have run, after the wars I've fought and won
After the fears I've overcome, after it's all been said and done
Yes, I've given it my all...

Help me...Is someone watching over?
Will you help me...Does anybody care?
Oh, help me...

Is anybody there? Hello?
Is anybody there?
I'll WAIT FOR THE CALL
I'll WAIT FOR THE CALL
I'll WAIT FOR THE CALL - after the riots I have run, after the wars I've fought and won
I'll WAIT FOR THE CALL - after the fears I've overcome, after it's all been said and done
I'll WAIT FOR THE CALL - after the riots I have run, after the wars I've fought and won - Yes, I've given it my all
I'll WAIT FOR THE CALL - after the fears I've overcome, after it's all been said and done - Yes, I've given it my all
Yes, I've given it my all...
Now I'll WAIT FOR THE CALL
