Waiting For Life Lyrics by Once On This Island (Broadway Revival)

Once On This Island (Broadway Revival Cast Recording)

2018

[TI MOUNE] (sung)
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 HIS 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 ON THE GROUND
AND MY FATE IN THE AIR
WAITING FOR LIFE TO BEGIN!
[ALL (except TI MOUNE, & DANIEL)]
OO LA, OO LA, OO LA, OO LA
OO LA, OO LA, OO LA, OO LA
[TI MOUNE]
MAMA'S CONTENTED
AND TONTON ACCEPTS WHAT HE GETS
[ALL (except TI MOUNE, & DANIEL)]
OO LA, OO LA, OO LA, OO LA
[TI MOUNE]
HAPPY FOR TEA IN THEIR CUPS
AND NO HOLES IN THEIR NETS
[ALL (except TI MOUNE, & DANIEL)]
OO LA, OO LA, OO LA, OOH
[TI MOUNE]
HAPPY TO HAVE WHAT THEY HAVE
AND TO STAY WHERE THEY ARE
[ALL (except TI MOUNE, & DANIEL)]
OO LA, OO LA, OO LA, OO LA
[TI MOUNE]
THEY NEVER EVEN LOOK UP
AT THE SOUND OF A CAR
[ALL (except TI MOUNE, & DANIEL)]
OO LA, OO LA, OO LA
[TI MOUNE]
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
AND 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 MY 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!
[ALL (except TI MOUNE, & DANIEL)]
ONE SMALL GIRL
ONE SMALL GIRL
