"In The Waiting" Lyrics


I’ve been waiting for answers

I’ve been waiting a long, long time 

If I open the door won’t you come inside


My heart’s begging for mercy

How much longer can I sit still and be

Hopeful and doubting and torn inside


And all this time

I’ve been staring at the minute hand 

Oh what a crime

That I can’t seem to understand that life is in the waiting


I’ve been working on patience

Trying to trust in the timing of my tiny existence

I come alive


I sat still in the twilight

I found peace in the quiet things 

How could I wish away all the in between


And all this time

I’ve been staring at the minute hand 

Oh what a crime

That I can’t seem to understand that life is in the waiting


And I find there’s no knowing of a right time

No it could keep you waiting all night for it

So hold tight

Don’t lose sleep over the half-life

Know that everything is alright 

Just like it is


And all this time

I’ve been staring at the minute hand 

Oh what a crime

That I can’t seem to understand that life is in the waiting

Life is in the waiting

You look so at home in nature. Beautiful song. <3

So beautiful, as always! Can't wait to hear the new album. I should probably get finishing mine as well. 😉

I love this one. ALMOST got me in tears. I'm in a point of my career where I feel like I'm stuck and I want new doors of opportunities to open up quicker and being "in the waiting" feels like forever. And the result of that comes uncertainty and anxiety. And the feeling I get from this song, is a reminder to step back a little bit and let time and everything fall into place and just be in the moment and feel all the feelings. This is something I struggle with a lot, and I'm constantly working on it. I'm just happy now there's a song I can listen to that perfectly captures that feeling of being present, and I can feel like I'm not alone in this struggle. Beautifully done, Kina. xo

Lovely Kina. I find it bright in more than one way. ;) Thank you. Best wishes from Denmark.

Loving every second of it, the nature sound at the beginning, everything :) It is a BEAUTIFUL video.. happy thanksgiving too! Thank you for another amazing song.

Beautiful

I love how your songs make me think. They are always so interesting lyrically that they pull me in.

Wow, the clarity of that song is clear and precious. There is nothing that compares to a stroll in the woods to do some searching of truth as it is seen and think about what life is about and putting value into your what the presence in a day brings and the outcome is a the adventure that the emotion brings with thoughts. (And that's my PhD level of philosophy in life.) Everything will be fine Kina. You are surrounded by love no matter where you are or go. Some days are lonely and some days are fun but know that you can always reach out to me. Much love to you Kina!

Hey Kina, thank you! It's like a magic. It resonated with me A LOT. The lyrics literally fit my current life time. I was lately feeling that I'm standing on in between hope and anxiety, or light and shadow or whatever something like that. As in I just realized there are two opposite emotions or feelings inside of me. I hated this fact before because it's paradox. But I realized this is really natural thing like day and night, and recognized like we are just accepting them subconsciously and living in between many things. And now, this song and video came out from YOU, Kina! What a perfect timing...Are you a psychic? haha Anyways I really love this song. Actually I love this forest too! These trees..so majestic. This song helps me to acknowledge and cherish my current situation more:) Im gonna keep trying to trust in the timing of my tiny existence. :) Thank you Kina, as always❤️️ Love youuu!

aw thanks jim!! &lt;3

stephen, i'm so sorry to hear you're going through a tough time right now, though so glad the song resonated with you. stay strong and present and i'm sending lots of love!

i will!!

another breathtaking beauty of a song! &lt;3 Jim p.s. ironically, I thought of YOU often yesterday, too!

This song resonates with me so much right now in my life. Just got out of an intense month of career recruiting time and walked out of it with no job. Causing a lot of anxiety and depression and this song really speaks to me in that life maybe not have worked out right now, but it's alright. It's in the waiting. Thank you Kina! &lt;3

Speaking of new music, please tell Jesse that his new Jome album is awesome. What an incredible pair you two are!
