Oh, I was Dwaiting on a spiritual Awind
EWaiting for someone to say F#mwhen
Almost Dwasted my whole life (Awhole life)

Walking the line between faith and doubt

Oh, I was waiting on a spiritual wind

Waiting for someone to say when

But I was on the wrong side

Losing my way

Wishing that the world would change

The life that You gave me

They'll say that I lived it
