R. C. Bold - The One Who Waits Lyrics

The morning breaks another day alone
The house is quiet just me and the phone
Our little girl asks "When's Daddy coming back?"
I smile and say "Soon" but my heart feels the lack
I know he's out there driving through the night
Bringing food to the table making things right

I'm the one who waits but worry fills my mind
Counting every minute hoping he'll be fine
The nights are long and the fear is real
Praying he stays safe behind that wheel

She holds his picture kisses it each night
Says "Goodnight Daddy" then turns off the light
I lie awake staring at the moon
Wishing he'd be home hoping it's soon
But I know his wheels keep the world alive
Still I can't help the fears that thrive


I'm the one who waits but worry fills my mind
Counting every minute hoping he'll be fine
The nights are long and the fear is real
Praying he stays safe behind that wheel


Every mile he drives feels like a test
I hold my breath hoping for the best
I send him love in every prayer I say
But deep inside I'm so afraid
But tonight I face another anxious night


I'm the one who waits but worry fills my mind
Counting every minute hoping he'll be fine
The nights are long and the fear is real
Praying he stays safe behind that wheel
