[Intro] D G D A G [Verse 1]
                           D
I've been waiting for the sun

          G                    A                   D
To come blazing up out of the night like a bullet from a gun

             G                          A             Bm
Till every shadow is scattered, every dragon's on the run

         G                                        A
Oh, I believe, I believe that the light is gonna come

                 G                  A              D
And this is the dark, this is the dark before the dawn
D G D A G [Verse 2]
                             D
I've been waiting for some peace

           G                       A              D
To come raining down out of the heavens on these war-torn fields

       G                         A            Bm
All creation is aching for the sons of God to be revealed

        G                                      A
Oh, I believe, I believe that the victory is sealed

              G                  A                 D
The serpent struck but it was crushed beneath His heel
[Chorus]
A                                   G
Oh, I know the wind can bring the lightning

A                                    G
Oh, I know the lightning brings the rain

A                                Bm
Oh, I know the storm can be so frightening

               G                             A
But that same wind is gonna blow that storm away

                 D
Blow that storm away
D G D A G
                          Bm    G
Lord, I'm waiting for a change

                    D    A  G
I'm waiting for a change
[Verse 3]
                         D
So I'm waiting for the King

           G                   A                      D
To come galloping out of the clouds while the angel armies sing

             G                         A           Bm
He's gonna gather His people in the shadow of His wings

                G                      A            Bm
And I'm gonna raise my voice with the song of the redeemed

                   G                              A   D  A
'Cause all this darkness is a small and passing thing
[Bridge]
             Bm
This is the storm, this is the storm

      A
The storm before the calm

             G                         A
This is the pain, the pain before the balm

             Bm
This is the cold, the cold

           A
It's the cold before the warm

                G                          A
These are the tears, the tears before the song

             G   A
This is the dark

                               G     A
Sometimes all I see is this darkness

                              G      A
Oh now can't you feel this darkness

                              D  G  D
This is the dark before the dawn

                  A      G
I'm just waiting for a change

                Bm   G
Please let it change

                                  D    A  G
We're all just waiting for some change
[Outro]
          D
I had a dream that I was waking

        Bm
At the burning edge of dawn

             G
And I could see the fields of glory

         G
I could hear the sower's song

          D
I had a dream that I was waking

        Bm
At the burning edge of dawn

              G
And all that rain had washed me clean

          G
All the sorrow was gone

          D
I had a dream that I was waking

         Bm
At the burning edge of dawn

              G
And I could finally believe

              G
The king had loved me all along

         D
I had a dream that I was waking

        Bm
At the burning edge of dawn

            G                  A
I saw the sower in the silver mist

                       D
And He was calling me home
