Waiting Underground - Patti Smith

if you believe all your hope is gone

down the drain of your humankind

the time has arrived

you’ll be waiting here as I was

in a snow-white shroud

waiting underground

there by the ridge be a gathering beneath the pilgrim moon

where we shall await the beat of your feet hammering the earth

where the great ones tremble

in their snow-white shrouds

waiting underground

if you seek the kingdom come, come along

waiting by the ridge there’ll be a gathering

beneath the pilgrim moon

where the thunders

oh where we shall await the beat of your feet hammering the earth

and as the earth resounds where the great ones tremble

and your humankind becomes as one

and then we will arise

in our snow-white shrouds

when we’ll be as one

but until that day we will just await

in our snow-white shrouds

waiting underground

in our snow-white shrouds

waiting underground

waiting underground

waiting underground

waiting underground

waiting underground

waiting underground

waiting underground
