Look at them working in the hot sun
ย
The pilloried saints and the fallen ones
ย
Working and waiting for the night to come
And waiting for a miracle
ย
Somewhere out there is a place that's cool
ย
Where peace and balance are the rule
ย
Working toward a future like some kind of mystic jewel
And waiting for a miracle
ย
You rub your palm
On the grimy pane
In the hope that you can see
ย
You stand up proud
You pretend you're strong
In the hope that you can be
ย
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 miracle
ย
Struggle for a dollar, scuffle for a dime
ย
Step out from the past and try to hold the line
ย
So how come history takes such a long, long time
When you're waiting for a miracle
ย
You rub your palm
On the grimy pane
In the hope that you can see
ย
You stand up proud
You pretend you're strong
In the hope that you can be
ย
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 miracle
