The World is Waiting

Henry, I hope you got the cards

And had a chance to read each one

You wouldn't believe me

But there's even more once you're done

I know it's been a while

But we all miss you loads

And I probably shouldn't say this

But I miss you more than most

I've never known myself lost for words to say

Frozen speechless staring at an empty page

I'll start with hello

Tell you jokes to pull you through

I'll make you laugh like only friends can do

Oh, whispered through the window

Written on the stars

Framed beside the bedside

Printed on our hearts

We'll be with you always

Everywhere you go

We will be waiting

We will be waiting

Anytime or anywhere

The head of Saracens called me today

When light won't break through

He's saved a space for you at every game

When you're afraid or lost inside

Each time I step out on the field, it's true

Let words collide

I'm not playing for me, no, I'm playing for you

If you're scared or broken down

I'm sorry uni's keeping me away

Can't find all that you knew

But know I think about you every day

If you're low and asking why?

When you're better, I'll help you get back to school

Look to the sky

I'm your big brother after all

The world is waiting for you

The world is waiting for you

The world is waiting

In times of darkness, we will never disappear

When hope is lost, know you'll always find us here

Little by little, you'll make your way home

We will be waiting

We will be waiting

If you're scared or broken down

I didn't wanna write this card, but mum bribed me

Can't find all that you knew

What a waste when she can send a text for free

If you're low and asking why?

But there's no one to annoy here on my own

Look to the sky

So come on, Henry, just come home

Anytime or anywhere, when light won't break through

When you're afraid or lost inside, let words collide

If you're scared or broken down

Can't find all that you knew

If you're low and asking why, look to the sky

The world is waiting for you

The world is waiting for you

The world is waiting

It's up to us now

Time to get out of here

Face our future

I don't want to face a colourless life

A new world we don't recognise

You want to dive into a future we can't see

But we can never go back once we take the leap

We can never go back

I know you're scared

I'm scared too

But I'm getting out of this hospital

So, are you with me

Or not?

In the silent hours

Through quiet days

Let these words lead the way

Hand in hand

We reach for the sun

We will be waiting

Till a new day's begun

Anytime or anywhere, when light won't break through

What world waits for me?

When you're afraid or lost inside, let words collide

If you're scared or broken down, can't find all that you knew

What world waits for me?

If you're low and asking why, look to the sky

The world is waiting for you

Promise me forever won't feel like this

The world is waiting for you

The world is waiting for you

Promise me forever won't feel like this

The world is waiting for you

The world is waiting for you
