Lyrics
Shi-ya!
I’m waiting on a summer
That’s never gonna come
Searching for the sunlight
But I can’t find it
Huh!
They’re trying to do the right thing
In a world all wrong
Holding back the troubled
Waters are rising
The morning comes
As the light breaks through (the light breaks through)
The new days dawns
And I run (And I work things through… and I run)
Under the sky
Under the sky
Under the sky
Under the sky
I’m waiting on a miracle
Today and tomorrow (tomorrow)
After the flood
Well I’m gonna find you (find you)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
The morning comes
And the light breaks through (the light breaks through)
The new days dawns
And I run (And I work things through… and I run)
Under the sky
Under the sky
Under the sky
Under the sky
After the flood
I wandered like a bad moon on the rise, oh!
Rising
Rivers are rising
Rising
Rivers are rising
Under the sky
Under the sky
Under the sky
Under the sky
Under the sky
Under the sky
Under the sky
