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
