Through Gseas of prayer 
Through Dtwisting hands and Gchoking air 
A Dvulture at the wGailing wall 
I cDircled... 
WGaiting...

D G

The holy city breathed

D G

Like a dying man

D G

It moved with hopeful tears

D G

With the tears of the blind

F Bb

And on and on as the night drew in

Through broken streets

That sucked me in

F Bb

My feet were bare and cut with stones

F G

With walking to the promised land

D G

, (x4)

I pushed through crowds

Through seas of prayer

D G

Through twisting hands and choking air

D G

A vulture at the wailing wall

I circled...

Waiting...
