Waiting Lyrics

I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting

Waiting for Christ in the USA
Waiting for Christ in the USA
Waiting for Christ in the USA
Waiting til I die

Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
He needs me

I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting

Wasting my time in the USA
Wasting my time in the USA
Wasting my life in the USA
Waiting til I die

Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
He needs me

I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting

Waiting for a life in the USA
Waiting for a life in the USA
Waiting for a life in the USA

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is about Christians in the USA and their dilemma about the suggestions from the bible as to the return of Jesus Christ and how it seems as though it hasn't happened yet. I think it puts them in a uncomfortable situation in terms of their faith and what the absence of Christ's return does to them over the course of their lifetime, but also in terms of the greater community of Christians as a whole. Waiting for the return of Jesus as prophecized is patient work. I hope they aren't going nutty from waiting on something so important to them like this, you know?
