Ben Harper - Waiting On A Sign lyrics

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 is only happy as her saddest child To learn to live without can take awhile And it's a long way back to anywhere And it's not too late but it's getting there 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 So you blow a veil of smoke To protect yourself from the joke Look around this room and say, "Man, I don't belong here." There's so many sides to to the truth But only one side to a 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
