Waiting, waiting, waiting for you to show,
Flowers in hand ready to go.
The excitement was high
Waiting for the plane to fly by.

Time went by to slow,
So I just kept looking at that flag fly high in the sky,
Ready for myself to jump into your arms
And never have you let me go.

Finally I see it, coming in for the land,
Tears streaming down my face like a waterfall,
At last I see you walk off the plane,
Excitement clearly spread across your face.

I couldn’t take it any longer,
Sprinting through the crowds just for you to hold me again,
We made eye contact and there was no going back
I was so glad to have my dad back.
