Waiting.....

Out in the cold
There is a young boy
He's standing alone
His face full of joy

Every week in a hurry
To make it on time
Up to the bus stop
through the muck and the grime

Sunday's he's special
He knows he is loved
His teachers all tell him
Of a God up above

But....
He's just a child standing there waiting
On the one day a week he's been anticipation
The hope in his heart Has started to numb
Cause he'll keep on waiting.... For a bus that won't come

Did they forget him
Did they not care
Was life too important
Not a moment to spare

He stands there in silence
Was it something he'd done
He feels all alone
With nowhere to run

Do they even notice
His cold empty chair
With no one to take him
He's missing.... What God has to share

Oh....
He's just a child, standing there waiting
On the one day a week he's been anticipating
The hope in his heart has started to numb
cause he'll keep on waiting... For a bus that won't come
