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, waiting for the sun to shine in. |
