Lyrics
THOSE WHO WAIT
W:Larry M Clark, BMI P:ELLEMSEE MUSIC, BMI larrymyrtus@yahoo.com
VERSE
How many times through the years,
you've seen with eyes filled with tears
a child that has a near fatal illness
But did you look around at the siblings in the background
and offer them a hug and a caress
They can only sit and wait,
While their sibling fears a fate
And hope that recovery goes well
They're forgotten to mention,
As the sick one gets the attention
And inside, a conflict may dwell
VERSE
They dislike their current standing,
Cause the strain is so demanding
and they are left to worry alone
Parents give all of their time to the life on the line
but siblings wish for care shown
When you visit a child that's ill,
to other children, show good will
Share a little love with them
A little love goes a long way to cheer a childs day
And their outlook won't be so dim
