Sitting here in Limbo
Waiting for the tide turn
Yeah, now, sitting here in Limbo,
So many things I've got to learn
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on

Sitting here in Limbo
Waiting for the dice to roll
Yeah, now, sitting here in Limbo,
Still got some time to search my soul
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on

I don't know where life will take me,
But I know where I have been
I don't know what life will show me,
But I know what I have seen
Tried my hand at love and friendship,
That is past and gone
And now it's time to move along

Sitting here in Limbo
Like a bird ain't got a song
Yeah, I'm sitting here in Limbo
And I know it won't be long
'Til I make my getaway, now
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on

I don't know where life will take me,
But I know where I have been
I don't know what life will show me,
But I know what I have seen
Tried my hand at love and friendship,
That is past and gone
And now it's time to move along

Gonna lead me on now
Meanwhile, they're putting up resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on
Sitting in Limbo, Limbo, Limbo
Sitting in Limbo, Limbo, Limbo
Sitting in Limbo, Limbo, Limbo
Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,
But I know that my faith will lead me on

    General Comment:I assume Limbo here as meaning an intermediate place where some people are sent to while they are waiting for a 'judgment'. Thus the legendary Jimmy Cliff is expressing his faith in himself for beating all those people who have chased or betrayed him and, as a result of that, he was forced to put himself in a 'Limbo' for reflecting upon his own life until the right moment that his unshakable faith definitively releases him from all this suffering.
