Текст песни She Waits - The Gray Havens

Dressed in chains, now she waits
Lookin' 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
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
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 comin'
But she hopes and she hopes for it

It's been a long time comin'
But she hopes and she hopes for it
