"Warrior in the Waiting Room"

9 hours agoAria v1
She wakes before the sun, coffee cold in her hand A silent prayer whispered, no one else could understand Little shoes by the door, hospital bag packed tight Her child’s smile fading, but she holds on to the light (Verse 2) Doctors speak in numbers, like she's not even there Another test, another scan, another silent prayer She signs the forms with shaky hands, the bills pile high In the land of freedom, she asks the sky, why? (Chorus) She’s a warrior in the waiting room, tears behind her eyes Fighting every heartbeat just to keep her child alive In a world where money buys the right to heal and breathe She gives everything she has, but it’s never what they need Oh, she’s a soldier in the silence, a rebel in the pain In this unfair game of riches, she still stands in the rain (Verse 3) The meds cost more than rent, the choices come so cruel Food or treatment — she’s forced to bend the rules She sells her rings, her coat, her pride and peace of mind But for her baby’s smile, she’d leave the world behind (Bridge) She watches cartoons while holding a hand too small Humming lullabies in a fluorescent hall They say she’s brave, but they don’t see The broken woman underneath who still believes (Chorus) She’s a warrior in the waiting room, prayers stitched in her skin Fighting for a future where her child can win In a world that counts your worth in gold and what you own She builds a kingdom from pain, all on her own (Outro) She’s not asking for a miracle, just a chance to f***t fair For her child to grow, to breathe clean air She’s a mother, a fighter, against the cruelest tide And love is her weapon — with that, she’ll never hide
