I sit here clutching useless lists
and keys for doors that don’t exist
I crack my teeth on pearls
I tear into the history
just show me what it means to me in this world
’cause I am due for a miracle
i’m waiting for a sign
i’ll stare straight into the sun
and I won’t close my eyes
’til I understand or go blind
I see the parts but not the whole
I study saints and scholars both
no perfect plan unfurls
do I trust my heart or just my mind
why is truth so hard to find in this world
yeah in this world
’cause I am due for a miracle
i’m waiting for a sign
i’ll stare straight into the sun
and I won’t close my eyes
’til I understand or go blind
I know that there’s a point I’ve missed
a shrine or stone I haven’t kissed
a scar that never graced my wrist
a mirror that hasn’t met my fist
but I can’t help feeling like i’m
due for a miracle
i’m waiting for a sign
i’ll stare straight into the sun
and I won’t close my eyes
