Ben Harper
Waiting on a Sign
I didn't come here trying to find forgiveness
I didn't come here looking for a fix
I didn't come here in hopes of seeing
How the unforsaken get their kicks
It's like a cry for help nobody hears
Close as you can get but I'm still nowhere near
Now I'm just down here waiting on a sign
I'm running out of time
I'm here waiting on a sign
A mother's only happy as her saddest child
To learn to live without can take a while
And it's a long way back to anywhere
And it's not too late, oh, but it's getting there
And like a cry for help that nobody hears
Close as you can get but I'm still nowhere near
I'm just here waiting on your sign
I'm running out of time
I'm waiting on a sign
So you blow a veil of smoke
To protect you from the joke
Look around this room
And say "Man, I don't belong here"
So many sides to the truth
But only one side to fact
What will we do
With what we can't take back
Like a cry, like a cry for help that nobody hears
Close as you can get but I'm still nowhere near
I'm just here waiting on your sign
I'm runnin', I'm runnin' out of time
I'm waiting on a sign
I'm just waiting on a sign
I'm just waiting on a sign
