Once on This Island movie - Waiting For Life lyrics
rate me<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
A stranger in white<br>
In a car<br>
Going somewhere<br>
Going far...<br>
How it must feel to go racing<br>
Wherever you please<br>
Flying as free as a bird<br>
With his tail in the breeze<br>
Even the fish in the sea <br>
Must be longing to fly<br>
Catching a glimpse of a stranger<br>
In white racing by<br>
<br>
Oh, Gods <br>
Oh, Gods<br>
Are you there?<br>
What can I do to get you to look down<br>
And give in?<br>
Oh, Gods<br>
Oh, Gods<br>
Hear my prayer<br>
I'm here in the field<br>
With my feet on the ground<br>
And my fate in the air<br>
Waiting for life to begin<br>
<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la<br>
Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la<br>
<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
Mama's contented and Tonton<br>
Accepts what he gets<br>
<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la<br>
<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
Happy for tea in their cups<br>
And no holes in their nets<br>
<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la<br>
<br>
[TIMOUNE]<br>
Happy to have what they have<br>
And to stay where they are<br>
<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la<br>
<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
They never even look up <br>
At the sound of a car!<br>
<br>
A stranger!<br>
Racing down the beach<br>
Racing to places<br>
I was meant to reach<br>
My stranger<br>
One day you'll arrive<br>
The car will stop<br>
And in I'll hop<br>
And off we'll drive...We'll drive!<br>
<br>
Oh, gods<br>
Oh, gods<br>
Please, be there<br>
Don't you remember<br>
Your little Ti Moune from the tree<br>
Wake up!<br>
Look down!<br>
Hear my prayer<br>
Don't single me out<br>
And then forget me...<br>
<br>
Oh gods, oh gods<br>
Let me fly<br>
<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Oh oh oh<br>
<br>
[TIMOUNE]<br>
Send me to places <br>
No one before me has been<br>
<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Ooh la ooh la ooh la <br>
<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
You spared my life<br>
Show me why<br>
<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Oh oh oh<br>
<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
You get me to rise<br>
Like a fish to the bait<br>
And tell me to wait<br>
Well, I'm waiting...<br>
<br>
[PEASANTS]<br>
Waiting<br>
<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
Waitng for <br>
Life to <br>
Begin!<br>
[MEN]<br>
One small<br>
Girl<br>
[WOMEN]<br>
One small<br>
Girl<br>
[TI MOUNE]<br>
Waiting for <br>
Life to <br>
Begin!<br>
[MEN]<br>
One small<br>
Girl<br>
[WOMEN]<br>
One small<br>
Girl<br>
