What They Were Waiting For

Mary. If you hear me

Hold Him closer than you'll ever know

One day you'll have to let Him go

Joseph. Hope you notice

You're the reason that He's here today

He'll need your strength along the way

Cause the world may forget

What happened on that night

But they'll never deny the change

Morning dawned in the midst of the night

And the world came awake by the sound of a cry

Now ev'ry day is what they were waiting for

How a mother's child and a Father's son

Were two worlds apart and colliding as one

Now ev'ry day is what they were waiting for

It's what they were waiting for

Mary. What'd your mother think

A face so young could bear a king

And that you're more than just her girl

Joseph. What your father say

Did he see the best or just walk away

Cause you'd need a man by you side

For when morning dawned in the midst of the night

And the world came awake by the sound of a cry

Now ev'ry day is what they were waiting for

How a mother's child and a Father's son

Were two worlds apart and colliding as one

Now ev'ry day is what they were waiting for

It's what they were waiting for

And when morning dawned in the midst of the night

And the world came awake by the sound of a cry

Now ev'ry day is what they were waiting for

How a mother's child and a Father's son

Were two worlds apart and colliding as one

Now ev'ry day is what they were waiting for

It's what they were waiting for
