I’ve prayed and had faith
Becoming a religious whore
But I’m the one who’s paid
With my song of three chords
Still I stand here and wait
My confidence is shaken
Right down to my core
Every piece of dignity
Stripped down to the floor
Still I stand here and wait
Hope is a shady hand
Keeps me begging for more
With a dream out of reach
Behind locked-tight doors
Still I stand here and wait
My heart’s a full-blown fool
I’m a gambler gone poor
Believing all the broken pieces
Will one day be restored
Still I stand here and wait
