The walls are shaking and the world’s on fire
The rich get richer while the poor are dying
But I am here with you – and I will see you through

I’m your lover in a world of night
I’ll be the endless river in a world gone dry

And if we have fallen we must rise
Whatever tomorrow brings we gotta let it ride

What are we waiting for
The whole world is an open door
Everybody hand in hand
Deep down in the promised land
So what are we waiting for
We’re heading out for a distant shore
Far across the water lies forevermore
So what are we waiting for

I’m your harbor in a stormy sea
I’ll be the guardian angel that will keep you free

And if we should fall then we will rise
Whatever tomorrow brings we’re gonna touch the sky

So what are we waiting for
Let’s walk through this open door
Everybody hand in hand
And find a home in the promised land
So what are we waiting for
We’re heading out for a distant shore
Far across the water lies forevermore
So what are we waiting for

So what are we waiting for
Let’s walk through this open door
Gonna take you by the hand
Get you home to the promised land

So what are we waiting for
Let’s walk through this open door
Everybody hand in hand
And find peace in the promised land
So what are we waiting for
We’re heading out for a distant shore
Far across the water lies forevermore
So what are we waiting for
