I've Been Waiting

I've been waiting long, hard and still

Dark as a cold heart within my cell

Fifteen years for talking loud and taking grip But squeezing hard I saw the fall pass by this doorstep

I've been running

I've been seeking

Looking for those who loved me

And I've been waiting

Your picture upon my wall

Has aged in honor

Beside the dirty sink and last years papers The day I'm released I'm gonna come back to you And investigate your investigation I'm gonna pierce those stockings And hear your congratulations

I've been running

I've been seeking

Looking for those who loved me

And I've been waiting

I hurt my hand when I went to dig for my freedom I thought of friends and chipped my stand Fell asleep a-talkin'

This cell is a home that no one visits

I've been searching for compelling presence

I've been running

I've been seeking

Looking for those who loved me

And I've been waiting
