by Jimmy Cliff
recording of 1989
from Johnny & The Devil,
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 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 can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen
I can't say where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that's 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
