Waiting for Tomorrow Lyrics

Maybe tomorrow I'll start over
Maybe tomorrow I will finally change my ways
Said the same thing yesterday
Don't know why I'm so afraid
To let You in, to let You win
To let You have all of me

I can't live my whole life wasting
All the grace that I know You've given
'Cause You made me for so much more than
Sitting on the sidelines

I don't wanna look back and wonder
If good enough could have been better
Every day's a day that's borrowed
So why am I waiting for tomorrow?
Why am I waiting for tomorrow?

Maybe today I'll start believing, yeah
That Your mercy really is as real as You say it is
It doesn't matter who I used to be
It only matters that I've been set free
You rescued me, You're changing me
Jesus, take everything, yeah

I can't live my whole life wasting
All the grace that I know You've given
'Cause You made me for so much more than
Sitting on the sidelines

I don't wanna look back and wonder
If good enough could have been better
Every day's a day that's borrowed
So why am I waiting for tomorrow?

Oh, I'm making this my moment now
To grab the hand that's reaching down
To save me, oh, You save me

And I'm making this my moment now
To grab the hand that's reaching down
To save me, oh, You save me

I can't live my whole life wasting
All the grace that I know You've given
'Cause You made me for so much more than
Sitting on the sidelines

I don't wanna look back and wonder
If good enough could have been better
Every day's a day that's borrowed
So why am I waiting for tomorrow?
Why am I waiting for tomorrow?

I'm gonna grab the hand that's reaching down
And I'm not gonna wait until tomorrow
Oh, tomorrow

Mandisa Diane Hundley, artistically known as 'Mandisa' (born October 1, 1976) is an American-Grammy award winning singer who rose to fame as one of the favourites in the fifth (2006) season of American Idol. Despite finishing as the overall ninth place finalist, Mandisa has gone on to become one of the most successful idol contestants of all time. Mandisa has gone on to release four studio albums, "True Beauty" (2007) "Freedom" (2009) "What If We Were Real" (2011) and "Overcomer" (2013) She's also released two holiday EPs "It's Christmas" (2008) and "It's Christmas - Angel Edition" (2012) Mandisa's music ventures a blend between Christian music, soul, pop and R&B.

Mandisa grew up in Citrus Heights, California (Sacramento County) and graduated from El Camino Fundamental High School. She then attended American River College in Sacramento where she studied Vocal Jazz. Then she was off to Fisk University in Tennessee and graduated with a bachelor's of music degree with a concentration in vocal performance. Mandisa currently resides in the suburban Nashville community of Antioch, Tennessee. When she auditioned for American Idol in Chicago, she asked the judges to call her "just Mandisa", and she has been billed as Mandisa (with no last name) on the show since the shows Hollywood round. Mandisa was a backup singer for famed Christian author and speaker Beth Moore. She has stated her musical influences run the gamut from Whitney Houston to Def Leppard.

Idol judge Simon Cowell made several comments about Mandisa's weight during her audition. When he first saw her, he quipped are we "going to have a bigger stage this year." Later, when Paula Abdul commented that Mandisa had a "Frenchie" growl to her voice, Cowell responded that a more apt comparison would be to France itself. These were among comments that drew the ire of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, and would be one of the reasons Mandisa would entitle her 2007 album "True Beauty".

According to the Stronger Songfacts, the 11 tracks of Mandisa's 2011 album What If We Were Real encourage shining the light on whom we really are, including both the good and the bad; the theme of the record also coincided with Mandisa's public struggles with food addiction and weight loss. "A struggle is a struggle, and Jesus is there through it all," the singer explained. "He is there in compassion and grace. I have found that what He has spoken to me through these songs has been encouraging and I think that'll be true for other people who are going through their own hard times." Read more on Last.fm.
