Finally

I waited for years
Years long I waited
For just one sign of you

Now finally someone told me
We were talking and she told me
About some things I wanted to know

Then she said that you were there
You where standing right behind me
And I wanted so badly to turn around and see you

I know I couldn’t see you even if I turned
But just to hear her say that you where there
Made me feel so glad

She told me that you were okay now
And that you thought I had done okay too
That even if no one else would

You’d still be standing there
You’d still be with me everywhere I go
You would still love me

That woman said the few things I longed to hear
And as the tears welled up in her eyes
So did they in mine

Cause all this time
All those years
I only wanted to hear what she just told me

Thank you, mom
For finally think I was ready for you
For still being here

She touched my hand in a way she said
You wanted to do so
And I could only feel you

For the first time in a long while
I felt you again
I just knew that you were there

Even if others don’t see it like do
Even if they don’t believe
You told me to believe in you

This little talk with this woman
Brought you back to me
And I don’t care about what others say

If this is the thing I need to believe in
If this is what will finally gets me to sleep at night
Then why shouldn’t I believe in you.
