This is Wes King, followed by Thought You'd Be Here, from his recording A Room Full of Stories.Going through the three years of not being able to have kids, that put me through a lot of changes.Of all the things I've ever been through, I can't say that I've been that constantly disappointed.And so I think emotionally, I really went through it.It's like broken glass I've been walking on for months.And the glass is gone now, but the cuts are still there.Sometimes they bleed every now and then. I guess it's just life, you know?But I definitely am still trying to find my footing in all this.I think I look at life a lot differently. That sounds so cliche.But one of the things I say in concert, and I say it and I get real serious when I see kids out in the audience,I say, let me tell you something. You have no idea how much your parents love you.You have no clue. And if you did, you'd never talk back.You'd never stay out late, disobey. You would have a different attitude.I'm telling you right now because I'm a dad now, and I never knew how much I could love.I never knew that this love was available for me to give.And I said that one time, and I saw this kid in the back, and he had spiked hair and the whole nine yards.I'm mad at the world, and I want to show everybody I don't care.And I thought, gee whiz, I wonder if this guy doesn't have a dad.Or I wonder if his dad is in jail or doesn't care or whatever.And it was just before I did thought you'd be here.And I said, I want to do this song for the people that have gone through what we've been through.But at the same time, I think there might be somebody out there who,maybe the Lord is singing this song to you. I thought you'd be here by now.And He's been coming after you. He's been pursuing you.You might not have a father, but I'm telling you, there is a Father who wants to hold youand who will make it rain rhythm and rhyme melodies for you.We thought you'd be here by now.Your mother and I, we're praying through our tears.And somehow, we might hear your sweet cry.We waited too long. It's getting harder to be strong.Is there something we've done wrong?But if you like dancing, I'll make it rain rhythm and rhyme and melodies for you.And if you like dreaming, your mother will make your imagination run wild.But somehow, we thought you'd be here by now.We have a room just for you upstairs.It's right down the hall.So we'll be close, so you never get scared.We'll come when you call.It's a room full of stories waiting to be told.Longing to be heard.And if you like laughing, we'll paint you a circus of smiles and Ferris wheels.And if you like living, your mother will fly you to worlds both far and near.But somehow, I never knew the silence could make me so dead.I never knew that I could miss someone I never met.Miss someone I haven't met yet.But if you like dancing, I'll make it rain rhythm and rhyme and melodies for you.And if you like dreaming, your mother will make your imagination run wild.And if you like laughing, dreaming.And if you like living, living.And if you like dancing, and dreaming, and living, enjoy your day.Well, we'll be waiting.Yeah, we'll be waiting.
