Waiting for the Dawn

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a world outside Though it barely touches us Cross the ocean so wide Far from both Americas And I wake in the night Waiting for the dawn to come What if I had no rights Living in South Africa [Verse 2] And I drive in my car Got to get to work on time At the red light I swear All this traffic is a crime There's a man at the curb Selling papers one by one And I read in the news Another man and woman gone South Africa [Verse 3] And the factories float by I stare them down, then drive away Modern times, modern lives All neatly tucked and filed away Five o'clock in my car I'm listening to the radio And I choose what I hear Keep my eyes glued on the road [Bridge] Ah, ah, ah [Verse 4] Shadows fall and my town Turns from gray to black and white I am listening for sounds Something moving in the night In my heart there's an ache Every muscle tightly drawn Eyelids closed, wide awake Waiting for the dawn to come [Outro] La da da da da, ah ah Da da da da da, ah ah La da da da da, ah ah Da da da da da, ah ah
