Waiting For A Miracle

Look at them working in the hot sun

The pilloried saints and the fallen ones

Working and waiting for the night to come

And waiting for a—, and waiting for a—, and waiting for a miracle

Somewhere out there is a place that's cool

Where peace and balance are the rule

Working toward a future like some kind of mystic jewel

And waiting for a—, and waiting for a—, and waiting for a miracle

You rub your palm on a grimy pane

In the hope that you can see (When you're waiting)

You stand up proud, you pretend you're strong

In the hope that you can be (When you're waiting)

Like the ones who've cried, like the ones who've died

Trying to set the angel in us free

While they're waiting for a—, while they're waiting for a—, while they're waiting for a miracle

Struggle for a dollar, scuffle for a dime

Step out from the past and try to hold the line

So how come history takes such a long, long time

When you're waiting for a—, when you're waiting for a—, when you're waiting for a miracle

You rub your palm on a grimy pane

In the hope that you can see (When you're waiting)

You stand up proud, you pretend you're strong

In the hope that you can be (When you're waiting)

Like the ones who've cried, like the ones who've died

Trying to set the angel in us free

While they're waiting for a—, while they're waiting for a—, while they're waiting for a miracle

While they're waiting for a—, while they're waiting for a—, while they're waiting for a miracle

While they're waiting for a—, while they're waiting for a—, while they're waiting for a miracle
