Story Behind the Song
This song speaks of someone who has been down the right path but makes some wrong decisions and turns away from God. The song is from God's perspective calling to His child to let him know that He still loves him. He's calling His child out to play.
Lyrics
It's a dull and dreary afternoon.
You look out the window, and watch the clouds pour out their tears to the ground.
Maybe someday things will change.
Maybe someday, you will hear my voice,
I am calling...I'm saying
My child, my child
I am waiting so patiently for you.
My child, my child
Won't you come out and play
But you're so comfortable and safe inside
Then you look around and you realize you've never felt so alone.
Remember the fields we used to run.
I still wait there for you,
'cuz I know that one day you'll be coming home
My child, my child
I am waiting so patiently for you
My child, my child
Won't you come out and play
But you say you've been away for so long
That you don't think you could ever face me again
But I tell you that nothing you have done
Could compare to the love I have for you
So I say...
My child, my child
I am waiting so patiently for you
My child, my child yeah
Won't you come out and play
Won't you come out and play
