heart be still you've had your fill
of lovers who've come and gone
the time is right i see through the light
that blinded me for so long

it's no secret that i love you but this is like a love i've never known
my mistakes brought me to this place where the flowers replaced the thorns

i kept alive the dream inside
that brought me to you here 
the time to grieve what i believed 
has left me silent all these years 

but it's no secret that i love you but this is like a love i've never known 
my mistakes brought me to this place where the flowers replaced the thorns 

where the flowers replaced the thorns 

i'm a woman waiting to happen i'm a lover waiting to dream i'm a mountain waiting
to be climbed i'm an eagle ready to scream 

i'm a story waiting to be told i'm a child awaiting to be held i'm a tear awaiting to fall
on the face of a stranger standing next to me 

and i'm a song awaiting to be sung i'm a prayer awaiting an answer i'm a horizon
kissing the dawn i'm a star shining like i've never shown 

i'm a page about to be turned i'm a dance about to begin i'm a moment awaiting eternity
i'm a whisper awaiting a sigh 

and i'm a river awaiting the ocean i'm a baby waiting to crawl and i'm a heart 
waiting to fall 
i'm a heart waiting to fall 

i'm a heart heart waiting to fall 
i'm a heart waiting to fall 

in love with you 

ahhhh it's no secret that i love you but this is like a love i've never known 
my mistakes brought me to this place 
where the flowers where the flowers 
ohhh where the flowers replaced the thorns 

heart be still you've had your fill
and i'm a woman waiting to dream 

heart be still you've had your fill
i'm a woman waiting to scream 

heart be still you've had your fill
i'm a woman waiting to be held 

heart be still you've had your fill
i'm a woman about to begin

i'm a heart waiting to fall 
i'm a heart waiting to fall 
i'm a heart waiting to fall 

in love
