[Verse 1]
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 they're waiting for a
And they're waiting for a
And they're waiting for a miracle

[Verse 2]
Somewhere out there is a place that's cool
Where peace and balance are the rule
Working for the future like some kind of mystic jewel
And they're waiting for a
And they're waiting for a
And they're waiting for a miracle

[Bridge]
You rub the palm of your hand on thе grimy pane
In the hopes that you can see (Whеn you're waiting)
You stand up tall, pretend you're strong
In the hopes that you can be (When you're waiting)
Like the ones that cry, like the ones that die
Trying to set the angel in us free
And they're waiting for a
And they're waiting for a
And they're waiting for a miracle
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
You rub the palm of your hand on the grimy pane
In the hopes that you can see (When you're waiting)
Stand up tall, pretend you're strong
In the hopes that you can be (When you're waiting)
Like the ones that cry, like the ones that die
Trying to set the angel in us free
And they're waiting for a
And they're waiting for a
And they're waiting for a miracle

[Verse 3]
Struggle for a nickel, scuffle for a dime
Forget about the past, leave your worries behind
How come the future seems to take such a long, long time?
When you're waiting for a
When you're waiting for a
When you're waiting for a miracle

[Outro]
When you're waiting for a
When you're waiting for a
When you're waiting for a miracle
When you're waiting for a
When you're waiting for a
When you're waiting for a miracle
