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 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

(Ooh-la, ooh-la, ooh-la, ooh-la)

(Ooh-la, ooh-la, ooh-la, ooh-la)

Mama's contented and Tonton accepts what he gets

(Ooh-la, ooh-la, ooh-la, ooh-la)

Happy for tea in their cup and no holes in their nets

(Ooh-la, ooh-la, ooh-la, ooh-la)

Happy to have what they have and to stay where they are

(Ooh-la, ooh-la, ooh-la, ooh-la)

They never even look up at the sound of a car

(Ooh-la, ooh-la, ooh-la)

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 me fly

(Oh, oh, oh)

Send me to places where no one before me has been

(Ooh-la, ooh-la, ooh-la, oh)

You spared my life

Show me why

(Oh, oh, oh)

You get me to rise like a fish to the bait

Tell me to wait (Ah)

Well, I'm waiting (Waiting)

Waiting for life to begin (One small girl, one small girl)

Waiting for life to begin (One small girl, one small girl)
