Waiting For A Miracle
Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn
Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn;
and various other artists



Working and waiting in the hot sun
With all the rich saints, and the fallen ones
Working and waiting for the night to come
And we're waiting for a, and we're waiting for a
And we're waiting for a miracle
Somewhere out there is a land that's cool
Where peace and balance are the rule
Working for the future like some kind of mystic jewel

Chorus

You rub the palm of your hand on the driving pain
In the hopes that you can see (when you're waiting)
Stand up tall, pretend you're strongIn the hopes that you can be
(when you're waiting)

Like the one's that cry, like the ones that die
Trying to set the angel in us free
And the waiting for a, and the waiting for a
And the waiting for a miracle
Scuffle for a nickel, struggle for a dime
Forget about the past, leave your worries behind
Home come the future has to take such a long, long time?

Chorus
