The Future - Nadia Reid

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
