This Waiting Heart - Chris De Burgh

Lean, O Lean, O Leon, Wellahiya

O Lean, O Lean, O Lean, Wellahiya

Out on the water I can hear them call

I feel the rhythm inside of me

This is the moment I’ve been waiting for

When I’m hearing the drums in the night

When I’m seeing the river of light, hey, hey

Out on the water it’s another world

I feel the power inside of me

The flame is here and now it has to burn

You can live but you cannot survive

And it’s something you cannot deny

To the waiting heart — this waiting heart

To the waiting heart — this waiting heart

Oh I’m holding on, I’m just holding on

Holding on, Wellahiya

Holding on, I’m just holding on

Holding on, Wellahiya

And maybe tonight — tonight I’ll go —

I’ll go down to the river where my love will be

This time — this time I know —

She will lay down beside me, 'cos everything comes

To the waiting heart — this waiting heart

To the waiting heart — this waiting heart

Out on the water I can hear them call

I feel the rhythm inside of me

This is the moment I’ve been waiting for

It is here, now I’m breaking away

And it’s fortune that favors the brave

And the waiting heart, oh the waiting heart

This waiting heart — oh the waiting heart

This waiting heart — oh yeah the waiting heart

This waiting heart — oh this waiting heart

This waiting heart

Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana

This waiting heart …

Holding on I’m just holding on …

Out on the water I can hear them calling …

This waiting heart
