[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)
