What I’m Waiting For

Jonny Diaz names spiritual dryness plainly rather than dressing it up in "What I'm Waiting For" — "forty days with a heart like a stone, forty nights feeling cold and alone, like a stranger 'cause it's been so long, it's not You but it's me who's gone." The distance is his own doing, not a change in God.

"This complacency is wearing on me, all my passions turned to apathy, I could get up and follow You and find my faith from before, don't know what I'm waiting for" repeats as an honest diagnosis without a tidy fix attached to it. "Try to pray, bow my head but life gets in the way" keeps the struggle ordinary and specific rather than dramatic.

"Maybe You shining white or a blood red sun, maybe some other sign that may never come, maybe I must believe before I can see" closes the song by naming the real obstacle — waiting for proof instead of choosing to move — without pretending the tension resolves neatly.
