Waiting On A Miracle - Paula Cole

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
