"The Future" lyrics

There is a land between the future and where I am headed
I wouldn't have it any other way
I can see my sister angry at the world around her
I could tell her it will change
But I don't know if it will
And I will need my mother right beside where I can lift her
I will bury all the shame

I was waiting for you
I was waiting for you

And you told me of the joy that comes with your first child
How your feelings, they will change
Your colors they will grow
What a shame that I was too high, too young to see
What a life that we have made

I was waiting for you
I was waiting for you

And I can see the future, she was standing right in front of me
And I see it
How your feelings they have changed
Your colors, they have grown
What a shame that I was too high, too young to see
What a life that we have made

I was waiting for you
I was waiting for you
I was waiting for you
I was waiting for you to be better, ah

There is a land between the future and where I am headed
I wouldn't have it any other way
