STILL WAITING TO FLY (INTRO: slide guitar and autistic guitar (spoken): Isaiah says… “Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…” I’ve read it… I’ve believed it… So why am I still tired? I’ve been surviving… Not living. ⸻ Verse 1 Been carrying weight since I was just a young woman, Built these strong hands doing everything I can. Everybody needed me… I answered every call. Held everybody up… While I watched myself fall. Worked through the pain. Worked through the nights. Kept smiling outside… While losing every fight. Lord… I know You’re real. I’ve seen You move before. So why’s this heart still standing… Like it’s waiting at a closed door? I’ve never been afraid of work… Only afraid to stop. ‘Cause stopping means my mind starts asking… “When’s the blessing gonna drop?” Everybody tells me, “Just keep trusting… He’s got a better plan.” But I’ve been living in survival… So long… I forgot who I am. ⸻ Hook I’m still waiting… Waiting to fly… Trying to believe… With these tears in my eyes. You said I’d rise like an eagle… But lately all I know… Is another sunrise… Another heavy load. Lord… Teach me how to wait… Without losing hope. Teach me how to breathe… When I feel like I can’t cope. ⸻ Verse 2 I’ve been the shoulder… Everybody leaned on. The one who fixed the problems… Long after hope was gone. The woman who never quit. The woman who never ran. But nobody ever asked… Who’s holding up this woman? I keep saying… “My breakthrough’s coming.” But some nights… That faith feels numb. I’m not quitting… I’m just wondering… Lord… Am I missing something? Did I mistake surviving… For living by Your grace? Have I been running so hard… I forgot to seek Your face? Verse 3 Maybe the blessing ain’t money… Maybe it’s peace inside. Maybe the miracle’s learning… I don’t have to hide. Maybe eagles don’t fly… By fighting every breeze. Maybe they rise… Because they trust the wind they cannot see. Lord… I’ve been trying to carry tomorrow… While You only asked me… To walk today. I’ve been chasing the answer… When You’ve been saying… “Just stay.” ⸻ Final Hook I’m still waiting… But now I know why. You’re teaching these broken wings… How to fly. I’ll run… And I won’t grow weary. I’ll walk… And I won’t give in. Because the God who carried me this far… Will finish… What He began within. ⸻ Outro WOMAN (spoken): Maybe waiting… Was never about sitting still. Maybe waiting… Was learning… That God was carrying me… The whole time...
