I've been waiting patiently for this day to arrive and
I have spoken not a single word,
Now hand to hand my voice shall be heard
No Michael
Not this time,
I've been waiting for oh so long, oh so long
I've accepted silently this name I've been given and
I have heard it pass the lips of everyone,
Now if you will inquire, ask of your Father
And he may tell you of his brightest Son
No Michael
Not this time,
I've been waiting for oh so long
No Michael,
Not this time,
I've been growing oh so strong
Now in true glory
I'll rise again, ahh
I've been waiting patiently for this day and this time
I shall not be alone,
Not this time, not this time,
Not this time, not this time
I have spoken not a single word,
Now hand to hand my voice shall be heard
No Michael
Not this time,
I've been waiting for oh so long, oh so long
I've accepted silently this name I've been given and
I have heard it pass the lips of everyone,
Now if you will inquire, ask of your Father
And he may tell you of his brightest Son
No Michael
Not this time,
I've been waiting for oh so long
No Michael,
Not this time,
I've been growing oh so strong
Now in true glory
I'll rise again, ahh
I've been waiting patiently for this day and this time
I shall not be alone,
Not this time, not this time,
Not this time, not this time
