Sitting here in limbo, But I know it won’t be long
Sitting here in limbo, Like a bird without a song

Well, they’re putting up resistance
But I know that my faith, Will lead me on

 

Sitting here in limbo, Waiting for the dice to roll
Sitting here in limbo, Got some time to search my soul

Well, they’re putting up resistance
But I know that my faith, Will lead me on

 

I don’t know where life will lead me

But I know where I’ve been
I can’t say what life will show me
But I know what I’ve seen

Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is passed and gone
This little boy is moving on

 

Sitting here in limbo, Waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo, Knowing that I have to go

Well, they’re putting up resistance
But I know that my faith, Will lead me on

 

I don’t know where life will lead me
But I know where I’ve been

I can’t say what life will show me
But I know what I’ve seen

Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is passed and gone
This little boy is moving on

 

Sitting here in limbo, Waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo, Knowing that I have to go

Well, they’re putting up resistance
But I know that my faith, Will lead me on

 

Limbo, Limbo, Limbo

Limbo, Limbo, Limbo

I’m sitting in limbo

Mmmmmmm

 

Well, they’re putting up resistance
But I know that my faith, Will lead me on

Well, they’re putting up resistance
But I know that my faith, Will lead me on

Well, they’re putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
