Sting & Shaggy Lyrics

"Waiting For The Break Of Day"

[Shaggy:]
Right now di ting out fi get real
Right now di ting out fi get real
Right now di ting out fi get real
Right now di ting out fi get real
And wi nuh come yah so fi cut no deal

[Sting:]
When the sun goes down
Aligned, the world won't stay
Come lay down here beside me
Waitin' for the break of day

In the darkest night
The moon she stays away
Come on, hold me close tonight
We're waitin' for the break of day
Come and hold me close tonight
Waitin' for the break of day (for the break, for the break)

[Shaggy:]
Yeah! Blue moon rising
Tides and dark skies
Overnight passing ships will collide
Overside clearly seen at moon-tide
Chest full belly yet you can't swallow pride
Pace back and forth
Still can't find the motion
Weary hands tremble
So they pray up devotion
A minimum toll
So the soul must pay
With tears streaming down
Cry for the break of day

[Sting:]
In the fallin' rain
All your trust betrayed
Them that try to ease your pain
Are waitin' for the break of day

When the laws are wicked
You're forced to disobey
Stand out there on the picket line
Waitin' for the break of day
You stand out there on the picket line
Waitin' for the break of day

You see some politicians
You hear the things they say
You hear the falseness in their positions
We're waitin' for the break of day

When the light of wisdom
Pines itself away
There is yet another kingdom
Waitin' for the break of day
There is yet another kingdom
Waitin' for the break of day
