Analysis of Can you wait for me
CAN YOU WAIT FOR ME
Can you wait for me? I want to see you again
I need to hold you in my arms
Will you not move on until I get there?
I'm not trying to alarm you
I need to tell you, all the things i didn't
I need to let you know my truths
I need to talk to you and hear what happened
I need to know what happened to you
Was there pain? A flash of light?
Are you with God? Or are you lost in the night?
Are you scared? Are you lost and alone?
Are you happy and are you finally home?
Do you know about my broken heart?
I need to tell you that I am OK
I need you to know that I did survive
Just a little easier each day
Can you wait for me? Can you please hold on?
I need to see your face again
I need to know that it's a better place
Then the places you have been
Have you talked with Jesus?
Or are you floating around in space?
Have you seen my mom and dad?
Did they recognize your face?
Do you think of me and smile?
Are you happy where you are?
Are you now someone else?
Can you see me from afar?
Can you wait for me I want to see you again
I need to hold you in my arms
Will you not move on until I get there
I'm not trying to alarm you
Can you wait for me?
