Waiting: "Number 9" Lyrics

I don't believe another song could ever change the world

I don't believe that little boys grow up to be little girls

I don't believe that wishing ever really made it so

I don't believe you love me, you don't tell me anymore

I don't believe that suicide could ever open up any doors



Can't count on my lucky star if I don't know where it's at

Can't count on my fingers, I've got more sense than that

Can't count all my money - it all goes to pay the rent

Can't count on philosophers if I don't know what they meant

There's a time for counting one by one and time for counting what's been spent



Some people live their lives like their on number 9

But I'm gonna be around for a long, long time



I see a stately temple standing in a trance

I see the saints of God breaking into dance

I see a band of angels running up and down the stairs

I see a thousand sparrows floating in the air

I see a love-sick Savior, and I can see the scars that He wears

Ooo 

I see a love-sick Savior, and I can see the scars that He wears



Some people live their lives like their on number 9

But I'm gonna be around for a long, long time

I don't wanna live my life in an endless nursery rhyme

For I'm gonna be around for a long, long, time



Some people live their lives like their on number 9

But I'm gonna be around for a long, long time
