Til KIngdom Come

My children all have songs that have meaning to me around the time they are born.  I usually do not choose a song for them until my maternity leave is over.  However this little one's song seems to have been chosen before.  It is "til Kingdom Come" by Coldplay.   For you I'll wait till kingdom comes has so many different meanings to me.  It is beautiful and lyrical and I love the music besides the words.   13-15 more weeks to wait to see this little ones face and feel him.   Here are the lyrics for me really

"Til Kingdom Come"

Steal my heart and hold my tongue.
I feel my time, my time has come.
Let me in, unlock the door.
I've never felt this way before.

The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummer begins to drum,
I don't know which way I'm going,
I don't know which way I've come.

Hold my head inside your hands,
I need someone who understands.
I need someone, someone who hears,
For you, I've waited all these years.

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come.
Until my day, my day is done.
And say you'll come, and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

In your tears and in your blood,
In your fire and in your flood,
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing,
"I wouldn't change a single thing."
--
(Looking forward to hearing my baby boy laugh, sing, cry, and breathe)

The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummers begin to drum,
I don't know which way I'm going,
I don't know what I've become.

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come,
Until my days, my days are done.
Say you'll come and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.
