Ben Harper - Waiting For A Miracle Lyrics
Look at them working in the hot sunThe pilloried saints and the fallen onesWorking and waiting for the night to comeAnd waiting for a miracleSomewhere out there is a place that's coolWhere peace and balance are the ruleWorking toward a future like some kind of mystic jewelAnd waiting for a miracleYou rub your palmOn the grimy paneIn the hope that you can seeYou stand up proudYou pretend you're strongIn the hope that you can beLike the ones who've criedLike the ones who've diedTrying to set the angel in us freeWhile they're waiting for a miracleStruggle for a dollar, scuffle for a dimeStep out from the past and try to hold the lineSo how come history takes such a long, long timeWhen you're waiting for a miracleYou rub your palmOn the grimy paneIn the hope that you can seeYou stand up proudYou pretend you're strongIn the hope that you can beLike the ones who've criedLike the ones who've diedTrying to set the angel in us free
