Karaoké Waiting for Life Once on This Island (musical) (Hailey Kilgore)

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
