What is He Waiting For?
Stephen Schwartz
[FAMILY]
Forty days and forty nights
Come and gone
All the world is dead and drowned
Still the rain goes on
There are no beasts or people anymore
What is he waiting for?
What is he waiting for?
Forty days and forty nights
Black and bleak
And what rations we have left
Will not last a week
Papa calls and calls to God
[NOAH]
Why won’t you speak?
[FAMILY]
Where is the sun he said he would restore?
What is he waiting for?
[NOAH]
Father!
[FAMILY]
What is he waiting for?
