D
Dressed in chains, now she waits
        D
Looking back upon that day
         D
When the dawn first held its gaze
         A           D
Upon the son and the daughter's face


[Verse 2]
    D    Dsus4     D
But strange now it seems
                   Dsus4   G
Like some dark and distant dream
           D         A        Bm
Still, she hopes and longs to be
     A          D
Once again, and finally free


[Chorus]
       D
So she waits, she waits
  Dsus4   D
She waits
       D
So she waits, she waits
  Dsus4   D
She waits


[Verse 3]
           D   Dsus4        D
She's seen empires come and go
            D         Dsus4    D
Watched the kingdom's children grow
           D      Dsus4    D
Sparks and embers far from home
D       A          D
Born to shine, and to behold


[Verse 4]
              D          Dsus4        D
'Cause on her chain is a lock and the key
       D        Dsus4    G
Is the radiance she will see
         D            A     Bm
From the light that's gonna be
              A            D
Cast from the sons and the daughters free


[Chorus]
       D
So she waits, she waits
  Dsus4   D
She waits
       D
So she waits, she waits
  Dsus4   D
She waits


[Bridge]
        D       Dsus4    D
She's a captive 'til she sees
       D       Dsus4    G
By the morning light redeemed
         G
Sons and daughters


[Chorus]
    D
She waits, she waits
  Dsus4   D
She waits
    D
She waits, she waits
  Dsus4   D
She waits
    D
She waits, she waits
  Dsus4   D
She waits
    D
She waits, she waits
  Dsus4   D
She waits


[Outro]
            D
It's been a long time coming
        Dsus4
But she hopes and she hopes for it
            D
It's been a long time coming
        Dsus4
But she hopes and she hopes for it
