Fighter - The Waiting lyrics

Not always understanding Not knowing why Why does it take so long Before the bird learns to fly Patience isn't one of my best traits But I know I've come a long way You've gotta wait through the night Before you can see the day (Chorus) The waiting makes me stronger The waiting makes me stronger The waiting makes me stronger Wait and see I see my face in the mirror Another year is gone How can it be, I'm still striving Waiting for the dawn Still fighting off rejection No mercy for what I do Only one thing keeps me going Knowin' Him gets me through (Repeat Chorus) I can rest in knowing There's a plan for all my days I need to say within God's timing Try to understand His ways Not always understanding I don't always know what for But it's hope that keeps me goin' now I'll be waiting near the door
