VERSE 1:
It's been awhile, some months, I guess, in my new time frame
I've been waiting in a room with many others just like me
I've made some friends, and we cry and laugh together
but they keep on being chosen or taken away

CHORUS:
I hope where they go they're still safe and warm
just like it is here
Hope they have blankets and more friends like me
I hope they are not alone
We need those who'll cry and laugh with us
And it's in these moments I wonder if I'll be chosen

VERSE 2:
This day starts just like any other day
nothing out of the ordinary
Three beds are empty beside me, Tom, Lowell, and Wendy
I guess they were chosen next
So I close my eyes again and think, "when will my time come"
...how much longer'

VERSE 3:
It hasn't got dark yet, I've been up for awhile
Some giants are walking into my room
Looking in from box to box, I think saying "hi"
But they keep looking and shake their heads from bed to bed

BRIDGE:
Wait a minute, they're coming to me with smiling faces
He reaches down and says this word I've never heard
"Son, I can't have one, but I'll choose you instead
Son, you'll be the one we'll raise
Son, we'll give you everything you'll ever need"
