I am waiting for my first job,

To do my best and earn some cash,

I am waiting for the day the metal will come off my teeth,

To have a straight, healthy smile,

I am waiting to lose my wisdom teeth,

No matter the pain,

I am waiting for my dance recital,

To show my dance on the wide, lighted stage,

I am waiting for my business to take off,

To be able to share my products with the world,

I am waiting to not be afraid,

To trust God with all my heart,

I am waiting for Jesus to come back,

And take me home.
