[Verse]
So she tells her man, "Let's go fishing
We'll go tomorrow morning when the sun rise"
And then she says she wants to take her kids in
That's her boy that's 12, and her daughter that's 4, with angel eyes
So ,they get there, and the sun has barely risen
Decided on a spot where the fish is plentiful with the tide
Get out their poles, Daddy smiles, and said "The fish is jumpin'"
Then they heard a splash, but it sounded bigger than fish size
The 12 year old screams, "Mom!"
And Mom screams back, "The baby was holdin' your arm"
Well, that was 30 seconds ago, so they jumped in
All comin' up with nothing... but, then...
Something told Mom, to look toward the light
But the sun wasn't yellow, it had turned white
So she listened and swam, she swam for the light
Like the Michelin Man, she swam with such might
She spotted the baby, and she was on her back
Just as the light said, sunrise was Heaven's track
She turned the baby over, her eyes were still blue
The baby had a smile, and said – "I was waiting for you!"
[Refrain]
"Mom, I was waiting for you!"
Your baby
"Momma! I love you" (I love you!)
"And I was waiting for you!" (I was waiting for you!)
Hey! (Hey!)
"I was waiting for you"
[Outro]
I was waiting for you... Momma
I was waiting for you
(Love you, Ma)
