Lyrics Waiting for Life

A stranger in white in a car
Goin' somewhere
Goin' far
How it must feel to go racin' wherever you please
Flyin' as free as a bird with his tail in the breeze
Even the fish in the sea must be longin' to fly
Catchin' a glimpse of a stranger in white racin' 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
Waitin' 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 racin' down the beach
Racin' to places
I was meant to reach
My stranger
One day you will 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 huh
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 waitin'
Waitin' for life to begin
Waitin' for life to begin
