Like a little girl on her way to school
Will you tie my shoes and help me cross the street
Will you hold my hand and walk a slower pace
Oh will you wait for me
Wait for me
I feel like a burden, like a bag of sand
You'll lose the marathon, you choose to hold my hand
You won't get a trophy if you wait for me
If you could see the broken back
The tiny kicks, the little scratches
Would you leave me like you do?
Is it considered such a waste
For you give yourself away
Like I would give myself to you?
So would you wait for me, and listen to me read
Though I'm painfully slow, don't just flip the page
Will you wait for me, and love me through the struggle
Will you wait
Will you wait
Will you wait for me
Will you wait
Will you wait
Will you wait for me
Will you wait
Will you wait
Will you wait for me
