The Whole World's Waiting

There's a woman in a field
Sweat on her legs
Squatting on her haunches
She's waiting on a time
Waiting for a child to come down

There's a plane in the sky
The pilot is crying
He's thinking about
All his metal tears that gonna flow

While people in a church are praying
With an actor reading from
A novel written two thousand years ago

There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
Waiting to be born

Farmer in his field
Got a good cow
Loom by his side
He's lying so still
Shotgun in his mouth
He reasoned that a time would come
When they want to rebuild
Since the loss of his wife
He don't want to know
Oh no

There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
Waiting to

There's generals in a mountain
Talking to computers
While lights are winking out
Lights are winking out
Over the screen

So the mother in the field
Watches the sky turn black and red
Seems the whole world had to die
For a child to be born

There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting

There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting

There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
There's a whole world waiting
Waiting to be born
