Seventh Wonder - Waiting In The Wings lyrics

So here I am, I'm a man And that little boy tied down Deep within me You have broken your word! I'm sorry that I bowed once again And let the monsters loose You can't understand it Your can't understand what it's like The world which we live in Feel I'm tearing up inside I'm loosing my mind One look and the clown In the mirror says Hi -- I'm still here waiting And tine is no longer on your side A part of him dies Another one lives in the mirror And his legacy reigns But I won't follow you In the shadows I cry Closer to heaven I fail I still remember the words That the little boy I once was, were told Son, order rises from fear Oh, how I swore I'd fight what he was And I'd never be like him I was such a fool An ignorant fool to believe A man can control How he's living out his life Or change anything One look and the clown In the mirror says Hi -- I'm still here waiting And time is no longer on you side A part of him dies Another one lives in the mirror And his legacy reigns But I won't follow you In the shadows I cry Closer to heaven I fail So here I am, I'm a man in a cynical world filled With compromises A tyrant signs in the mirror I know now I've been weak and afraid and turned The other cheek He knows I can't stand it. He knows I can't stand That I am A pawn in his puzzle And still waiting in the wings, the ghost of my past One look and the clown in the mirror says Hi -- I'm still here waiting And time is no longer on your side A part of him dies Another one lives in the mirror And his legacy reigns, but I won't follow him In the shadows I cry, alone So close to heaven And his legacy reigns But I won't follow you In the shadows I cry Closer to heaven I fail
