Through the wind and the rain I hear my mother's cry
  She says:
  "I know my baby's out there
  I just couldn't bear
  ask her why
  From my womb into the world
  Lord, I wish the child would call
  You know I'm needing some company
  She makes my life so full."
  
  Take my advice: go ahead and live your own life
  Everybody's waiting for someone to come home.
  Like the fire waits for the sand
  This world is burning with the tension of human hands
  Waiting to be cleansed, waiting for their ace of spades
  
  They say:
  "I sure hope he's coming
  'Cause I feel like I've just been saved."
  Take my advice: go ahead and live while you're alive
  Everybody's waiting for someone to come home.
  "Come to me and cleanse my soul..."
  I'm free, I'm free...
  "Only with you am I whole..."
  Can't you see that I am me???
  "I'll be waiting by the window..."
  I'll be heading for the door...
  I was driving down highway 85, yeah
  Had to pull off the road just to hear my radio coming in clearer
  Lord, this life's so full, I said, why do we ask for more?
  While we're waiting for the man to come
  We forgot what he's coming for
  Take my advice: go ahead and live while you're alive
  Everybody's waiting for someone to come home...
  "I'll be waiting by the window..."
  Everybody's waiting for someone to come home...
  "I'll be waiting by the window..."
  Everybody's waiting for someone to come home...
  To come home.
