It's a slow train
That takes us back to
The dreams and hopes we had when we were young
In the backstreets
Of the city
People fighting for the hope that's just begun

Waiting for
The dawn
Waiting for
The dawn

In the night sky
The stars are shining
On a billion dreams I'll never know
They hold the promise
Of this new day
Where people live together in love

Oh we're waiting for
Waiting for the dawn
Oh we're waiting for
Waiting for the dawn

With eyes burning
Our hearts beating
Beating out the sounds of the drum
We sit waiting
In this dark night
For the new dawn, the morning sun

Always waiting for
Waiting for the dawn
Waiting for
Waiting for the dawn

Waiting for
Waiting for the dawn
Waiting for
Waiting for the dawn
