I Will Wait - Mumford & Sons & Baaba Maal

Well I came home Like a stone And I fell heavy into your arms These days of dust Which we've known Will blow away with this new sun But I'll kneel down Wait for now And I'll kneel down Know my ground And I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you So break my step And relent You forgave and I won't forget Know what we've seen And him with less Now in some way Shake the excess 'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you Now I'll be bold As well as strong And use my head alongside my heart So take my flesh And fix my eyes A tethered mind free from the lies And I'll kneel down Wait for now I'll kneel down Know my ground Raise my hands Paint my spirit gold And bow my head Keep my heart slow 'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you And I will wait, I will wait for you

Where do I turn to When there's no choice to make? And how do I presume When there's so much at stake? I was so sure of it all But what if I need you in my darkest hour? And what if it turns out there is no other? If this is our last hope We would see a sign, oh We would see a sign Well I've been running from the ashes we left Forgiveness speaks for itself, but how can I forget When there's a stain on it all But what if I need you in my darkest hour? What if it turns out there is no other? We had it all If this is our time now We wanna see a sign, oh We would see a sign So give us a sign I need some guiding light Children of darkness, oh

Sit enthroned in white grandeur But tired And shift a wisp of wayward silver hair From your eyes I'd never seen you unkempt before As you whisper, "Darling, close the door" How have I not made a note of every word You ever said? And time is not on our side but I'll pretend That it's alright She says the Lord has a plan But admits it's pretty hard to understand Before you leave You must know you are beloved And before you leave Remember I was with you Are you afraid? However could you not be? In this rosy light This is strange I feel a hand come through the mirror Pointing at the light Point at the light we never see As you put your feathered arms over me Before you leave You must know you are beloved And before you leave Remember I was with you And as you leave I won't hold you back beloved We'll sit and talk The stars down from the sky And I'll not forget the chaos in your eyes, love And as you leave You must know you are beloved And as you leave I can see the wild has come for you And as you leave I won't hold you back beloved And as you leave See my children playing at your feet

Do not lie to us Don't hide your eyes from us I will take this softened cup I will sit upon your floor Tell your stories; tell all of your pain That's what I came here for And your children come and go as you weep What have I found in our love, I am a waste My words are empty vessels If I do nothing in this place And we can scream into the shadows And it's good that we can But walk with me, I think we'll find a way And walk with me, I think we'll find a way But I meet you at the Delta Where the rivers run into the sea And I'll meet you at the Delta What's behind, I can clearly see That beyond, that's beyond me When it feels like nothing else matters Will you put your arms around me? When it feels like nothing else matters Will you put your ams around me? And does your love prefer the other? And does your love, just make you feel again? Does my love prefer the other? Does my love just make me feel good? When it's all just dust to dust And it's how it will be When it's all just nothingness That means nothing to me When it's all just dust to dust And how it will be When it's all just nothingness That means nothing to me Does my love prefer the other Or does my love just make me feel good Does my love prefer the other Or does my love just make me feel good When it feels like nothing else matters Will you put your arms around me? When it feels like nothing else matters Will you put your ams around me? And does your love prefer the other? Does my love, just make me feel good?
