10.
I'm waiting for the world to rotate I'm waiting for the wheel of my fortune to turn around I'm waiting for the sun to rise the moon will hit the sky the stars will alight Because I'm surrounded, no shrouded in a shadow of doubt Father can you forgive me, I have sinned Jesus keeps paying me out But it's hard to keep faith and to love when you're shrouded in a shadow of doubt, yes a shadow of doubt We are waiting for the universe to turn We're waiting to spin the wheel of fortune 180 degrees Oh won't you do it for me, because I'm drowning, drowning in my hopes and dreams
