Conor Stone’s 'Waiting To Fly': Finding Faith and Purpose Through Music


Conor Stone's song 'Waiting To Fly' is deeply moving and relatable. Conor grew up immersed in church life, but in his teens, he drifted away. His life as a young professional musician more or less pushed his faith to the background. But life has a surprising way of bringing us back to our roots. 

Conor Stone - Waiting To FlyAt 36, Conor fell down two flights of stairs, an event that changed his life. Instead of broken bones, he woke up to a miraculous sense of being protected. Conor's doctor and the attending nurse were both astonished, remarking that 'God was looking out for you.' Call that a moment divine intervention, a rude awakening, that sparked a big change in Conor. He began writing worship songs, feeling guided by a higher purpose. 

'Waiting To Fly' captures this miraculous journey. The lyrics express a sincere longing to return to God's embrace. The chorus is very relatable, 'I was waiting, I was waiting to fly. With my God on high.' It speaks of standing firm in faith, despite what life hits you with, and trusting in God's perfect timing. 

Conor's story shows that Jesus is always with us and reaching out to us. Take a few minutes to listen to 'Waiting to Fly', especially if you too are feeling lost or disconnected. May Conor's journey encourage you during your journey to God.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 40:31; Psalm 91:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:17)
