Waiting for the Sun to Shine

Waiting like a cat by a crawfish hole
Waiting like a beggar holding out his bowl
Waiting for some light on these tired old eyes
Waiting for the sun to rise

The rain’s been coming down for so long
The noise of this old world is drowning out my song
Waiting for these clouds to break, waiting for a sign
Waiting for the sun to shine

Waiting for the sun to shine
Gonna break through this darkness anytime
Shine on me, Shine on

Waiting for this spark to turn into fire
Waiting for the treasure of my desire
It seems I’ve spent so long at the back of these old lines
Waiting for the sun to shine

Waiting like a parched land waits for the rain
Waiting for the healing that will transform this pain
Waiting for the blessing I’ve been trying so hard to find
Waiting for the sun to shine

Waiting for the sun to shine
And break through this darkness anytime
Shine on me, Shine on

Waiting for the truth to be revealed
For all of these promises that have been concealed
For the answer to these prayers and these longings realized
Waiting for the sun to shine

Waiting for the sun to shine
And break through this darkness anytime
Shine on me, Shine on
