[Verse 1]
There's a cold cup of coffee on the edge of the sink,
Dust on the Bible, makes a man stop and think.
These walls, they echo, but they don't talk back,
Just me and my shadow, walking the same old track.
[Chorus]
Lord, I’m a lonely man, but I’ve got a plan,
I want a wife to hold, and two little hands.
A boy for the mornings, a girl for the nights,
To tuck into bed under soft porch lights.
Oh, I’m praying, I’m waiting, for my life to begin,
For a love that’ll stay, and a family within.
[Verse 2]
I’ve got a little house with a picket fence,
A swing out back where the grass is dense.
The crib’s in the attic, just gathering dust,
But I still believe, 'cause I know I must.
[Prechorus]
I hear the laughter in dreams I can’t shake,
Feel the love in a life I’ve yet to make.
[Chorus]
Lord, I’m a lonely man, but I’ve got a plan,
I want a wife to hold, and two little hands.
A boy for the mornings, a girl for the nights,
To tuck into bed under soft porch lights.
Oh, I’m praying, I’m waiting, for my life to begin,
For a love that’ll stay, and a family within.
[Bridge]
It’s not the silence, it’s the hope that stings,
Like a bird with clipped wings that still wants to sing.
But I’ll keep this heart open, I’ll leave on the light,
For the family I’ll find, or the one Heaven might write.
