I am waiting, I have prayed But all I've heard are the silent sounds of the still parade The sun is fading on my youth I need more than borrowed praise and hollow truth I don't need a pillar of fire I don't need water from the stone I drink when I'm thirsty like I question what I know So won't you throw this waiting dog a bone Too much like Thomas, but I've earned the name There might be smoke, but there's no fire without a flame I've been told I'm a little like James The way I doubt my brother's words to hide my shame I don't need to walk on water I don't need water turned to wine But if I walk by faith and not by sight, I'm walking blind So I'm still here just looking for a sign I am waiting, I have prayed But all I've heard are the silent sounds of the still parade.
