I've been hiding amongst the shadows and the dust
Waiting on a witness showing me the power of trust
Need a little shelter, but it's never enough
Dancing in a shelter with all the lonely hearts
My heart seems to lay, my pulse seems to lay
I've been waiting for a lifetime, I've been waiting for a lifetime
My heart seems to lay
My heart seems to lay

My pulse seems to lay
I've been waiting for a lifetime, I've been waiting for a lifetime
I've been waiting for a lifetime, I've been waiting for a lifetime
I've been a slave to all I want and all I see
If there is a way, I'll take it
If it sets me free
Searching for religion and the God above
Searching the forbidden with all the lonely hearts
My heart seems to lay, my pulse seems to lay
I've been waiting for a lifetime, I've been waiting for a lifetime
For a lifetime
Put your hands to distance
I've been waiting for a lifetime
I've been waiting for a lifetime
My heart seems to lay, my pulse seems to lay
I've been waiting for a lifetime, I've been waiting for a lifetime
My heart seems to lay, my pulse seems to lay
For a lifetime



I've been waiting for a lifetime
A preacher can't preach it
Your teacher can't teach it
Your mama can't say it
Your heart's gotta play it
My heart seems to lie
My heart seems to lie
I've been waiting for a lifetime
I've been waiting for a lifetime
My heart seems to lie
My heart seems to lie
I've been waiting for a lifetime
I've been waiting for a lifetime
Dancing in the shelter
Dancing in the shelter
With all the lonely hearts
