Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I'v[Bm]e bee[D]n [G]waiting for the sun
[D]To come bla[G]zing up out
[Asus4]of the night like a bullet from [D]a gun
Till every shad[G]ow is scattered,
[Asus4]every dragon's on the[Bm] run
Oh, [D]I bel[G]ieve,
I believe that the light is gonna [Asus4]come[A][D]
And [A]this is the [G]dark,
this is the [A]dark before [D]the dawn

[Verse 2]
[G]
I've been waiting for [D]some peace
[A]To come rain[G]ing down out of the heavens
on [Asus4]these war- tor[D]n fields
All cre[G]ation is aching for [A]the sons
of God to [Bm]be revealed
Oh, I be[G]lieve,
I believe that the victory is [A]sealed
The serpent [G]struck but it
[A]was crushed beneath His [D]heel

[Verse 3]
[A]Oh, I know the wind can
bring the light[G]ning
[A]Oh, I know the lightning brings [G]the rain
[A]Oh, I know the storm can be so [Bm]frightening
But that same [G]wind is gonna blow
that storm [A]away
[D]Blow that storm away

[Verse 4]
[G]Lord, I'm waiting for a c[Bm]hange[G]
I'm waiting for Your change
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]
So I'm waiting for the [D]King
To come galloping out of the clouds
while the angel armies sing
He's gonna [G]gather His [D]people
in the shadow of [Bm]His wings
And I'm [G]gonna raise my voice with
the [A]song of the re[Bm]deemed
'Cause all this [G]darkness is a
[D]small and [A]passing thing
[D]This is the

[Verse 6]
[Bm]storm, this is the storm
[D]The storm before the calm
This is the [G]pain, the pain before [A]the balm
This is the [Bm]cold, the cold
It's the [D]cold before the warm
These are the [G]tears,
the tears [A]before the song
This is the [G]dark[A]
Sometimes all I see is [G]this
[A]darkness
Well, can't you [G]feel the [A]darkness
This is the dark [D]before [A]the dawn
[G][D]

[Verse 7]
I'm just waiting for a [G]change
[Bm]Change
[G]Lord, I'm waiting for the[D] change

[Verse 8]
[G]I had a[D] dream that I was waking
At the burning edge of dawn
And [G]I could see the fields of glory
I could hear the sower's song
I had [D]a dream that I was waking
At the burning edge of dawn
And all [G]that rain had washed me clean
All the sorrow was gone
I [D]had a dream that I was waking
At the burning edge of dawn
And I could fi[G]nally believe
The king had loved me all along
I had [D]a dream that I was waking
At the burning edge of dawn
I saw [G]the sower in the silver mist
And He was [D]calling [Bm]me home[D]
