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.
