 So she tells  her man "lets go fishin"
 Well go tommorow  morning when the sun rise..
 And then she  says she wants to take her kids and (baby cries)
 Thats her boy  thats 12 and her daughter thats 4 with angel eyes
 So they get there  and the sun has barely risen
 Decided on a  spot where the fish is plentiful with the tide
 Get out their  poles daddy smiles and said the fish is jumpin
 Then they heard  a splash but it sounded bigger than fish size
12  yr old screams  mom
And  mom screams back "The baby was  holdin your arm"
Well  that was 30 seconds  ago so they jumped in
All  comin up with nothin but then...
Something  told  mom to look  toward the  light
But  the sun  wasn't yellow  it had turned white
So  she listen  and swam she  swam for  the light
Like  the  Michelin man she  swam with  such  might
She  spotted the  baby and  she was on  her back
Just  as the  light said "Sunrise  was  Heaven's  track"
She  turned the  baby over her  eyes were  still blue
Baby  had  a smile and said...  "I was  waitin  for you!"
 Mom I  was waitin for you!
 Your  baby!
 Momma!  I love you!
 And I  was waitin for you!
 Heyyyyy  I was waitin for you..
 I was  waiting for you..
 Momma..  I was waiting for you..
I  love you ma..
