Awaits

Rita

Lyrics: Rita

Music: Idan Raichel

One day it will happen

Without us noticing, something will change

Something will calm us, something will touch us

And there will be nothing to fear.

And it will come like a line etched on the palm of a hand

It will come confident

As if it had always been there

And waited for us to notice him

And it will come; you will see

Clenched hands will lengthen

And the heart that guards not from being injured will beat at a normal pace.

It will come, as nature is used to be at peace with itself

One day, it will happen

Without us noticing, something will change

Something will touch us, something will calm us down

And there will be nothing to fear

And it will come like a line etched on the palm of a hand

It will come confident

As if it had always been there

And waited for us to notice it

And it will come, you will see... And it will come, you know Not everything will shake us

Not everything will strike

And what will open up for us

Awaits

I was just driving in a car in Tel Aviv and I had to get somewhere," singer Rita told a reporter for Maariv newspaper and continued: "At every traffic light, everywhere, in cars, on buses, I looked at people's faces, and I saw that everyone was immersed in some place that was definitely unpleasant. Everyone is busy thinking about their troubles, instead of opening the window and shouting: 'Everything will be good, everything will be fine.' I have a notebook in my bag, and my hand wrote it itself. I didn't even look at what was written. And that's what it was." Rita talked about the song "Waiting," whose lyrics she wrote in 2008. A song meant to comfort, to spread an optimistic spirit, to promise the listeners a better future, a change that will come slowly, gradually, as if for granted, without us noticing it, and suddenly it will be here
