I'm sitting in a room And waiting for an answer And hoping that the lord sees fit to let me leave 'Cause if the news ain't good And you ain't comin back here I'm gonna stay until my bones have turned to leaves I'm waiting on a word Hanging on a prayer White walls like limbo They keep my feet on the ground If I lose my baby I tell you where they can lay me Set me down on a cloud With my soul turned inside out Well they fixed me up good But my heart's still bleeding And there's only one thing in this world to let me heal Baby open up your eyes and tell me you're not leavin' And I'm gonna make you feel so good it won't feel real I'm waiting on a word Hanging on a prayer White walls like limbo They keep my feet on the ground If I lose my baby I tell you where they can lay me Set me down on a cloud With my soul turned inside out I'm waiting on a word Hanging on a prayer White walls like limbo They keep my feet on the ground If I lose my baby I tell you where they can lay me Set me down on a cloud With my soul turned inside out Set me down on a cloud With my soul turned inside out Set me down on a cloud With my soul turned inside out
