QTR - Waiting So Long Lyrics

Seen my share of desperation
Pain and anguish too
What about the Human Condition
Makes us be so cruel
Hope is just a fragile illusion
Lord knows its true
Does the Phoenix rise from the ashes
Or is that just a myth too

Even in the depths of depression
The beginning's always now
No matter how much it hurts
You've got to try somehow
And I've been waiting so long
For the pain to be gone
Cause I've been waiting so long
For peace to come

I've been waiting so long
For the light to shine through
I've been waiting so long
To open my heart too
I've been waiting so long
For a love that's true
I've been waiting so long
For a girl like you
