Paula Cole - Waiting on a Miracle lyrics
[Paula Cole - Waiting on a Miracle lyrics]
A tree it grows in Brooklyn
The force it grows in me
I’m cracking up the concrete
Of a life that nearly killed me
A woman’s just a man away
From welfare so they say
And Lord I know it to be true
When you’re married by the state
Yes I’m waiting on a miracle
Yes I’m waiting for the sun to shine in
Waiting on a miracle
Yes I’m waiting for the sun to shine in
No restraining order what a fool was she
A trusting small-town innocent
In love with mystery
You can take the boy from the ghetto
But the ghetto from the boy?
I guess he won his fool’s gold from
Another woman’s life
Yes I’m waiting on a miracle
Yes I’m waiting for the sun to shine in
Waiting on a miracle
Yes I’m waiting for the sun to shine in
Thank you for the laughter
Thank you for these tears
Thank you for my daughter
And teaching me no fear
The money never mattered
Just to pay to get us free
I have my girl, now leave my world
Good luck back on the street
Yes I’m waiting on a miracle
Yes I’m waiting for the sun to shine in
Waiting on a miracle
Yes I'm waiting for the sun to shine in
Waiting on a miracle
Yes I'm waiting for the sun to shine in
Oh, oh, waiting
The force it grows in me
I’m cracking up the concrete
Of a life that nearly killed me
A woman’s just a man away
From welfare so they say
And Lord I know it to be true
When you’re married by the state
Yes I’m waiting on a miracle
Yes I’m waiting for the sun to shine in
Waiting on a miracle
Yes I’m waiting for the sun to shine in
No restraining order what a fool was she
A trusting small-town innocent
In love with mystery
You can take the boy from the ghetto
But the ghetto from the boy?
I guess he won his fool’s gold from
Another woman’s life
Yes I’m waiting on a miracle
Yes I’m waiting for the sun to shine in
Waiting on a miracle
Yes I’m waiting for the sun to shine in
Thank you for the laughter
Thank you for these tears
Thank you for my daughter
And teaching me no fear
The money never mattered
Just to pay to get us free
I have my girl, now leave my world
Good luck back on the street
Yes I’m waiting on a miracle
Yes I’m waiting for the sun to shine in
Waiting on a miracle
Yes I'm waiting for the sun to shine in
Waiting on a miracle
Yes I'm waiting for the sun to shine in
Oh, oh, waiting
