I've been waiting patiently for this day to arrive and

I have spoken not a single word,

Now hand to hand my voice shall be heard



No Michael

not this time,

I've been waiting for oh so long, oh so long



I've accepted silently this name I've been given and

I have heard it pass the lips of everyone,

Now if you will inquire, ask of your Father

and he may tell you of his brightest Son



No Michael

not this time,

I've been waiting for oh so long



No Michael,

not this time,

I've been growing oh so strong



Now in true glory

I'll rise again, ahh



I've been waiting patiently for this day and this time

I shall not be alone,

Not this time, not this time,

not this time, not this time
