Heaven's Waiting

There is no understanding in this hostile age

Sometimes I feel just like a bat locked in a cage

It's hard to live beyond the walls

It ain't no life at all

But don't you tear it down

Take your chances, I'll take mine

Chasing thunder is only wasted time

Got no reason to walk that line

Heaven's waiting if I can make it home tonight

And with the years I've found a faith that gets me by

It shows me the truth in a hurricane of lines

My baby's left a light for me

That's really all I need

They won't bring me down

Take your chances, I'll take mine

Chasing thunder is only wasted time

Got no reason to walk that line

Heaven's waiting if I can make it home tonight

Aimlessly rushing leaves you with nothing

You need some loving to make you feel alive

In less than a moment, life can be stolen

I know where I'm going, gotta get me there tonight

I'm holding on to what I can

Like any other lucky man

Love won't strike me love won't sell me out

Take your chances, I'll take mine

Chasing thunder is only wasted time

Got no reason to walk that line

Heaven's waiting if I can make it home tonight
