Waiting For a Miracle

I listen to the whispers I hear a dozen lies People cry out loudly Friends say goodbye In spite of all that's come and gone I don't know what to say I'm praying for a miracle Each and every day My emptiness is troubling My sadness is unkind In dire desperation I begin to cry The Lord is standing by me My friends are on my side I'm waiting for a miracle I haven't got much time I pray for understanding I cry alone now too I wait for the answers Then I'll know what to do
