The Waiting Album: The Waiting Track: Hands in the Air
Hands in the Air Lyrics
If I raise my hands just to lift the shade Will I reveal a sky heavy and gray? Will last night be a memory sweetly fading? How I hate a morning starting out this way On these lonely, raging mornings I would whip You if I could But You're on the mighty side of strong And the perfect side of good If I raise my hands will You grab my by the wrists And will You try to pull me from the fray? And even if my fingers join together into fists Will You hold me firmly anyway? Because I would try to escape You but for everyday I'm sure That You're on the huge side of big And the holy side of pure Okay Hear what I say As I raise my hands in surrender today Okay Here I will stay Hands in the air, singing have Thine own way If I raise my hands so weak and thin and frail Will You reveal the light of mercy in Your eyes? If I cry to You faintly will my feeble whisper fail? Or will it find its way to a reply? Because, now that I'm exhausted I think I'm ready to admit That I have spent all my resistance on someone I can't resist Light from my window sill, make my way to the door I hang my head and still, I know you're wanting more Over the threshold now, I move across the yard All that my will allows, my every step is hard Now in the garden I carve out six feet of space There make my will comply, lie down upon my face Been toe to toe too long, I'm tired of fighting You I see You were too strong 'cause I am black and blue But now I understand a loser's due to win How every dying man is sure to rise again So I raise my left hand one, I raise my right hand two Under the morning sun, my spirit cries to You Okay Hear what I say As I raise my hands in surrender today Right here Under the sun Hands in the air, saying Thy will be done I'm here Under the sun Hands in the air, singing Thy will be done Okay Here I will stay Hands in the air, singing have Thine own way Have Thine own way
