Waiting for Life

A stranger in white
 In a car
 Going somewhere
 Going far
 How it must feel to go racing wherever you please
 Flying as free as a bird with its tail in the breeze
 Even the fish in the sea must be longing to fly
 Catching a glimpse of a stranger in white racing by
 Oh, gods, oh, gods
 Are you there?
 What can I do to get you to look down and give in?
 Oh, gods, oh, gods
 Hear my prayer!
 I'm here in the field
 With my feet in the ground
 And my fate in the air
 Waiting for life to begin
 ♪
 Mama's contented
 And Tonton accepts what he gets
 Happy for tea in their cups
 And no holes in their nets
 Happy to have what they have
 And to stay where they are
 They never even look up at the sound of a car
 A stranger racing down the beach
 Racing to places I was meant to reach
 My stranger, one day you'll arrive
 Your car will stop
 And in I'll hop
 Abd off we'll drive
 We'll drive!
 ♪
 Oh, gods, oh, gods
 Please, be there
 Don't you remember your little Ti Moune from the tree?
 Wake up, look down
 Hear my prayer!
 Don't single me out
 And then forget me
 Oh, gods, oh, gods
 Let me fly!
 Send me to places where no one before me has been
 You spared my life
 Show me why!
 You get me to rise like a fish to the bait
 Then tell me to wait
 Well, I'm waiting
 Waiting for life to begin
 Waiting for life to begin!
