She Waits - The Gray Havens

Dressed in chains, now she waits

Looking back upon that day

When the dawn first held its gaze

Upon the son and the daughter’s face

But strange now it seems

Like some dark and distant dream

Still, she hopes and longs to be

Once again, and finally free

So she waits, she waits

She waits

So she waits, she waits

She waits

She’s seen empires come and go

Watched the kingdom’s children grow

Sparks and embers far from home

Born to shine, and to behold

'Cause on her chain is a lock and the key

Is the radiance she will see

From the light that’s gonna be

Cast from the sons and the daughters free

So she waits, she waits

She waits

So she waits, she waits

She waits

She’s a captive 'til she sees

By the morning light

Redeemed sons and daughters

She waits, she waits

She waits

She waits, she waits

She waits

She waits, she waits

She waits

She waits, she waits

She waits

It’s been a long time coming

But she hopes and she hopes for

It’s been a long time coming

But she hopes and she hopes for
