Sitting In Limbo
Jimmy Cliff Lyrics

Sitting here in limbo
Feeling stuck without any clear direction or progress

But I know it won't be long
Remaining optimistic that progress and change will come soon

Like a bird without a song
Feeling aimless and unfulfilled without a sense of purpose or direction

Putting up resistance
Meeting opposition or obstacles that prevent forward momentum

But I know that my faith
Staying committed and faithful to one's beliefs or goals

Will lead me on
Believing that perseverance and determination will eventually result in progress

Waiting for the dice to roll
Remaining in a state of uncertainty and hoping for a favorable outcome

Got some time to search my soul
Taking advantage of the opportunity for self-reflection and introspection

I don't know where life will lead me
Feeling uncertain about the future and what it holds

But I know where I've been
Reflecting on past experiences and using them to inform current decision-making

I can't say what life will show me
Acknowledging the unpredictability of life and its many potential outcomes

Tried my hand at love and friendship
Having experienced both success and failures in relationships and emotional connections

But all that is passed and gone
Acknowledging that past experiences cannot be changed or undone

This little boy is moving on
Deciding to let go of the past and focus on moving forward

Waiting for the tide to flow
Remaining patient and waiting for a natural progression or forward movement

Knowing that I have to go
Recognizing that a change or departure is necessary for personal growth or progress

Sitting in limbo, sitting in limbo
Repeating the same feeling of stagnation and uncertainty

Don't know if it's got to be so
Questioning if the current state of limbo is necessary or if it can be overcome

But I know we won't belong now
Looking forward to a future where progress and belonging are achieved

Ah ha ha ha ha
Expressing a carefree or lighthearted attitude despite difficult circumstances

Ah ah ah ah ha
Repeating the same carefree expression

Limbo, limbo
Repeating the word that symbolizes the feeling of uncertainty and stagnation

Sitting in limbo, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Repeating the refrain to emphasize the main feeling of the song
