Some watch and others pray Where those prayers are falling For sure no one can say Election day is coming Hear the beating of that drum We’re just waiting for the miracle For the miracle to come They gather by the boxes Shouting threats and taking names They’re calling you a mule As they play their reindeer games Their faces, they keep hidden Holding weapons they can strum And me I’m up there waiting for the miracle For the miracle to come I don’t believe you’d like it They wanna see your fear They claim their loss is rigged Before the count is even clear The noises from their leader Sound a lot like bubble gum When he's talkin’ ‘bout the miracle, The miracle to come Waiting for the miracle There’s nothing left to do The line of no return Will be crossed before they’re through Nothing left to do when you know you’ve been taken Nothing left to do when you're begging for a crumb Nothing left to do when you've got to go on waiting Waiting for the miracle to come They dream of being righteous And they dream of being right They're sure that they’ve been cheated When the final count is tight The sands of time are falling Between a finger and a thumb As they're waiting for the miracle For the miracle to come They decided to get busy They’d been waiting far too long They tore away the system Just to see if it was strong Yeah, they did something crazy Something absolutely wrong Tired of the waiting for the miracle For the miracle to come Nothing left to do when you know you're forsaken Nothing left to do when you're begging for a crumb Nothing left to do when you've got to go on waiting Waiting for the miracle to come When you've fallen on the highway And you're lying in the rain They won’t ask you how you're doing You’re the source of all their pain All that quiet longing For a tune they could not hum That’s why they're out there waiting For the miracle For the miracle to come ABOUT THE ORIGINAL Waiting for the Miracle - Leonard Cohen Waiting for the Miracle was featured on COhen's album, The Future. The Future is the ninth studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, released in 1992. Almost an hour in length, it was Cohen's longest album up to that date. Both the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 1992 Los Angeles riots took place while Cohen was writing and recording the album, which expressed his sense of the world's turbulence. The album was recorded with a large cast of musicians and engineers in several different studios; the credits list almost 30 female singers. The album built on the success of Cohen's previous album, I'm Your Man, and garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews. The Future made the Top 40 in the UK album charts, went double platinum in Canada, and sold a quarter of a million copies in the U.S., which had previously been unenthusiastic about Cohen's albums. After touring successfully in support of his "comeback" album I'm Your Man (1988), Cohen took a year off to help his son Adam convalesce after a serious car accident in the West Indies left the young man in a coma for four months. Cohen also began a romantic relationship with the actress Rebecca De Mornay. Anthony Reynolds notes in his book Leonard Cohen: A Remarkable Life that work on Cohen's ninth studio album "was not forged in one concentrated effort. The number of studios used ran into double figures and was spread between Montreal and Los Angeles, although the original plan was to record it in Montreal only, with the same personnel that had worked on I'm Your Man. The cast brought to bear on the album was more akin to a movie production and included both a choir and an orchestra..." The songwriting process had not gotten easier for Cohen over the years; in an interview with Q, the singer admitted, “I’ve never found it easy to write. Period. I mean, I don’t want to whine about it or anything but...it’s a bitch! It’s terrible work. I’m very disciplined in that I can settle down into the work situation but coming up with the words is very hard. Hard on the heart, hard on the head and it just drives you mad. Before you know it, you’re crawling across the carpet in your underwear trying to find a rhyme for ‘orange’. It’s a terrible, cruel job. But I’m not complaining."
