Multi-GRAMMY® Award winning and RIAA Platinum-selling Curb | Word Entertainment recording artist FOR KING + COUNTRY drops their new previously unreleased single and album title track, "What Are We Waiting For? (The Single)" today.

The larger-than-life track challenges listeners to be the change they wish to see in the world; as the song hopes to inspire a message of unity, action and optimism.Says the Smallbones: "So often we deal in statements in life -- we make statements about ourselves, about God, about others. And yet if you look at Jesus' life, He so often dealt in questions. We have found it very relieving and exciting to start writing from that place, and 'What Are We Waiting For?' stands as just that. We're proud to ask these questions alongside you, and we hope that you find your answers as we've found ours."

Here are the lyrics:

[Intro]
What are we waiting for? (Waiting oh, waiting oh)
So what are we waiting for (waiting for, ooh)

[Verse 1]
Can't hear what we can't see
Can't speak if we can't breathe
Can't dance if we don't move our feet
It's a blurr tryin' to keep pace
Days running like we're in a race
Can't move if we're in our own way

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess the crisis is
We've just one life to live
And no one knows what happens next

[Chorus]
So what are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
Why're we wasting all the time like someone's making morе?
What are we praying for?
What are wе saving for?
What if we could be the light that no one could ignore?
What are we waiting for?

[Post-Chorus]
Waiting oh
Waiting oh
Waiting for
Ooh

[Verse 2]
Put the pen on a new page
Dream about what you could change
And live it out before it's too late

[Pre-Chorus]
The beauty of it is
We've just one life to live
And no one knows what happens next, no

[Chorus]
So what are we waiting for? (Waiting)
What are we waiting for? (Waiting)
Why're we wasting all the time like someone's making more?
What are we praying for? (Praying)
What are we saving for? (Saving)
What if we could be the light that no one could ignore?
What are we waiting for?

[Post-Chorus]
Waiting for
Waiting for (What are we waiting for)
Waiting for
Ooh

[Bridge]
If I love better
And you love better
Our love will live on forever
If I love better
And you love better
Our love will live on forever

[Chorus]
So what are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
Why're we wasting all this time like someone's making more? (Wasting all this time)
What are we praying for? (Praying)
What are we saving for? (Saving)
What if we could be the light that no one could ignore?
What are we waiting for?

[Outro]
What are we (Waiting) what are we waiting for? (for)
What are we (Waiting) what are we waiting for? (for)
What are we (Waiting) what are we waiting for? (for)
Ooh
What are we (Waiting) what are we waiting for? (for)
What are we (Waiting) what are we waiting for? (for)
What are we (Waiting) what are we waiting for? (for)
Ooh (Tell me what 'cha waiting, what 'cha waiting what 'cha waiting for)
