[Verse 1]
He said goodbye on a summer’s day,
The sun was bright, but my world turned gray.
My best friend’s voice still lingers near,
Like an old song I can’t help but hear.
We built dreams by the creek out back,
Now he’s gone, and I can’t bring him back.
[Chorus]
I’m just waiting on heaven, waiting my turn,
Where the rivers don’t dry and the bridges don’t burn.
Where the pain of this world gets left behind,
And I’ll see my best friend and my mama in time.
[Verse 2]
Mama left when I was just a kid,
Never quite understood why she did.
But they told me angels needed her there,
Now I feel her in the soft night air.
My friend, he swore he'd never roam,
But now he’s gone, and I’m here alone.
[Prechorus]
There’s a peace I know, somewhere ahead,
A place where love outlives the dead.
[Chorus]
I’m just waiting on heaven, waiting my turn,
Where the stars don’t fall and the seasons don’t churn.
Where the weight of the world will finally fade,
And I’ll walk with my loved ones in the light they made.
[Bridge]
Some days are long, some nights are cold,
But faith is the fire that I still hold.
I can see their faces when I close my eyes,
A promise of forever in the endless skies.
