He should have been out playin' |
|
But he sat on his front step |
|
All day he's just been there waiting |
|
And nobody's showed up yet |
|
His dad said he'd come get him |
|
Bright and early sunday morn |
|
But his mom knows he's forgotten |
|
Like he has since he was born, but. . . |
|
He's still waiting, he's still waiting |
|
He might be around the corner |
|
Or just right down the street |
|
He's still waiting, he's still waiting |
|
He tells his mom, " don't worry, |
|
This time he'll come get me" |
|
He's still waiting |
|
Group home in kentucky |
|
She's been there for a while |
|
They tell her that she's lucky |
|
She's such a pretty child |
|
Somebody's gonna take you |
|
And raise you as their own |
|
She never knew her parents |
|
And she's never had a home, but . . . |
|
She's still waiting, she's still waiting |
|
They might be around the corner |
|
Or just right down the street |
|
She's still waiting, she's still waiting |
|
She tells 'em, "i don't worry, |
|
Someone will come for me" |
|
She's still waiting |
|
They're children of the needle |
|
The bottle and the poor |
|
The sum of broken people |
|
Who can't go on no more |
|
Sad eyes and dirty faces |
|
City streets and dirt roads |
|
Their lives are slowly wasting |
|
While everybody knows |
|
They're still waiting, they're still waiting |
|
All the little faces different races |
|
Who don't know what love is |
|
They're still waiting, they're still waiting |
|
All the sones and daughters of missing fathers |
|
Who never miss their kids |
|
They're still waiting, they're still waiting, they're still waiting |
