Pam Tillis - Waiting On The Wind lyrics

In the middle of the meadow

I sit staring at my kite

A ball of string

And a paper dream

That I could not make fly

Then Daddy Pulled it to the sky

Behind him as he ran

And said

Girl don't be caught waiting on the wind

The time comes

When a young girl

Wants to leave the nest and fly

I sat there sad and proud and smiled through the tears

And said goodbye

I gave you boosts, I gave you wings

And girl I understand

An eagle can't sit waiting on the wind

If you rise for every challenge

If you run to catch your dreams

That star that you keep reaching for

Is closer than it seems

Heaven & Earth reward all those who

Try and try again

And will not be caught waiting on the wind

Whatever strength you find in me

I thank my father for

His wisdom

Faith, and courage

Set me on a steady course

And when my sails are empty

Their words lift me up again

And I will not be caught waiting on the wind

If you rise for every challenge

If you run to catch your dreams

That star you keep reaching for

Is closer than it seems

Storms of life may force you to change courses

Now and then

But Never be caught waiting on the wind

Never be caught waiting on the wind

Never be caught waiting on the wind
