Lyrics: Greyson Roy Gritt
Music: Greyson Roy Gritt
Were you singing songs in silence
Hoping to be strong?
Hanging in the balance,
Wondering how long could you hold on?
Waitin’ out the quiet years
(Do do do do do do)
(Mmm)
(Do do do do do do)
(Do do do do do)
Waitin’ out the quiet years
(Do do do do do)
Waitin’ out the quiet years
Have you been comforted
By their passages and prayers?
Were you trying to forgive them
For stealing all those years?
Were you trying to stay hidden
By shortening your hair?
Did you have a vision
Of a time when they wouldn’t care?
(Do do do do do)
Waitin’ out the quiet years
(Do do do do do)
Waitin’ out the quiet years
Did you keep it from your children
So they’d have a better life?
From father down to daughter
To my mother, down to mine
Did you struggle with not knowing
If the choice you made was right?
Would you have changed your mind
If there was an end in sight?
(Do do do do do)
Waitin’ out the quiet years
(Do do do do do)
Waitin’ out the quiet years
(Do do do do do)
Waitin’ out the quiet years
(Do do do do do)
Waitin’ out the quiet years
Waitin’ out the quiet years
