I've Tried And I've Waited Lyrics

I've tried
and I've waited so long
They say patience and will
make you strong
but I've wanted and wished for it
longed for it prayed for it;
the scent of the innocent.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e79115-rebekka_bakken~ive_tried_and_ive_waited_lyrics.html ]
Each time
I walked through that door
hoping to see
what I'm for
I ironed my shirt and I polished my shoes
and I kissed all the feet of the world

Show me the times when I fail
give me the strength to be frail
to ask and receive
to trust when in need
when I've tried and I've waited so long

I've tried and I've waited so long
