"I Am Not Waiting Anymore" lyrics - THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA

I've been building my house in vain
With bricks of lies and stones of pain
Out on the sandy flats that flood in the rain
I am not waiting anymore

I am red in tooth and claw
God's chosen child, bloody from the brawl
This bitterness was killing me all along
I am not waiting anymore

I spent a lifetime of noise
Trying to tell my story
Muddled in the darkness
Like Peter, waiting for the morning

He who goes out weeping
Carrying seed to sow
Returns with songs of joy
And abundant life to show

I have read between the lines
I have been wrong every time
It's burned up on the altar but I am fine
I am not waiting anymore
I am not waiting anymore
I am not waiting anymore
