Lyrics:

(Jimmy Cliff)



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 dice to roll

Sitting here in limbo, got some time to search my soul

Well they're putting up resistance

But I know that my faith will lead me on



I don't know where life will lead me

But I know where I've been

I can't say what life will show me

But I know what I've seen

Tried my hand at love and friendship

But all that is 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 me on



I don't know where life will lead me

But I know where I've been

I can't say what life will show me

But I know what I've seen

Tried my hand at love and friendship

But all that is 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 me on



Sitting in limbo, sitting in limbo

Sitting in limbo, sitting in limbo

Sitting in limbo, sitting in limbo

Sitting in limbo limbo limbo ....
