In the group home they are waiting
Waiting in the group home
Waiting for the phone to ring
Waiting for the pill to work
Waiting for the shift to change
Waiting for the Lord to come.
The Lord's return
On the day that he returns
They’ll be waiting by the door
With their shoes already on
Telling me to hurry up.
