[Verse 1] I've been waiting for the day when my father come around Waiting for that moment when we would paint the town but Then it all hit me last night, nobody's coming I've been waiting for that moment when my heart heals Waiting for someone to take away the pain that I feel Then it all hit me last night, nobody's coming [Pre-Chorus] But why should I dwell on the things I can't change? (Things I can't change) What if I'm the answer for things that I've prayed? (Things that I've prayed) All I know is [Chorus] If nothing changes before I'm gone I got no one else I could blame it on And we been waiting way too long What if we're the ones that we're waiting on? (What you waitin' for?) [Verse 2] I've been waiting on peace, but I just bought a piece One under the bed and one under the seat I don't know if I'm right or wrong but it helps me sleep (Helps me sleep) I've been waiting for the day when the cops don't shoot When they feel safe enough not to wear them bulletproofs I don't know who is right or wrong but I sure can't sleep [Pre-Chorus] But why should I dwell on the things I can't change? (Things I can't change) What if I'm the answer for things that I've prayed? (Things that I've prayed) All I know is [Chorus] If nothing changes before I'm gone I got no one else I could blame it on And we been waiting way too long What if we're the ones that we're waiting on? (What you waitin' for?) If nothing changes before I'm gone I got no one else I could blame it on And we've been waiting way too long What if we're the ones that we're waiting on [Bridge] I might just have to be, what I never had for me I might just have to be, what I never had for me I might just have to be, what I never had for me I might just have to be, what I never had for me (Oh, oh) [Outro] Andy, don't forget me
