I've been sitting on top of these rocks
Watching the waters rise
Everyone that I have loved has gone floating by
I've been praying for the king of the world to come and rescue me
From a land that's lost in dreams
From a land that's lost in dreams

Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens to descend
Wading for the, wading for the deep end, the deep end, the deep end
Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens to descend
Wading for the, wading for the deep end, the deep end, the deep end

I've been looking through microscopes to see how all life begins
I've been training my lens on the stars to see where it ends
But it's this living in between that is bringing me down
To a land that's lost in dreams
To a land that's lost in dreams
To a land that's lost in dreams

Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens to descend
Wading for the, wading for the deep end, the deep end, the deep end
Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens to descend
Wading for the, wading for the deep end, the deep end, the deep end

Heavens (repeat to end)
