[Intro] D C# G#m (x6) [Verse 1]
        D                   C#
Let our love create another life

                  G#m
It's growing even as we speak

         D                           C#
He don't know what's waiting for him here

                       G#m
Suspended in his dream sleep

    D
His mother's all around him

    C#                                    G#m
His father's just a sound to him, singing gently

        D
We have promised him a future

       C#
So I'm hoping that tomorrow

         G#m
Is, was, and will ever be
[Chorus]
          E       F#
And we're waiting now

                E        F#
Waiting for our child to come

               E        F#
The old age is near the end

                   G#m   A#m
The new one's just begun
[Verse 2]
          D                        C#
There's a face that I will come to love

                  G#m
That I have never seen before

          D                       C#
There's a brain that's absolutely free

                 G#m
From any kind of conscious thought

        D               C#
You are me, and you are she

                      G#m
It won't be long 'til we meet

            D
And I'll be going on a journey

     C#                       G#m
In a flimsy paper boat upon a stormy sea
[Chorus]
            E       F#
And so we're waiting now

                E        F#
Waiting for our child to come

               E        F#
The old age is near the end

                   G#m   A#m
The new one's just begun

          E       F#
Yes we're waiting now

                 E        F#
For something burning far away

             E            F#
Tear the old age down for good

                  G#m A#m
Welcome the young oooonnne
[Verse 3]
D                  C#
I'm shaking like a leaf

                G#m
Wound up like a spring tonight

             D
You say this ain't no place for children

C#                             G#m
Oh God, I hope that what we've done is right

     D                      C#
Am I vain to feel as if the world

                 G#m
Owes anything at all to me

D                   C#
Searching, burning, tossing and turning

G#m
Desperately
[Chorus]
            E       F#
And so we're waiting now

                E        F#
Waiting for our child to come

                       E      F#
Can't imagine what the future holds

                     G#m A#m
Just hoping there is one

          E       F#
Yes we're waiting now

                 E        F#
For something burning far away

             E            F#
Tear the old age down for good

                  G#m A#m
Welcome the young oooonnne
[Outro]
E            F#                     E                F#
Hear this my son, I promise you the best that we can do

            E        F#       E        F#            G#m A#m
We love, we love, we love, we love, we love, we love yooouuuu...
[Instrumental] D C# G#m
