Once On This Island - Waiting for Life lyrics

TI MOUNE 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 PEASANTS Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la TI MOUNE Mama's contented and Tonton Accepts what he gets PEASANTS Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la TI MOUNE Happy for tea in their cups And no holes in their nets PEASANTS Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la TIMOUNE Happy to have what they have And to stay where they are PEASANTS Ooh la ooh la ooh la ooh la TI MOUNE They never even look up At the sound of a car! A stranger! Racing down the beach Racing to places I was meant to reach My stranger One day you'll arrive The 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 PEASANTS Oh oh oh TIMOUNE Send me to places No one before me has been PEASANTS Ooh la ooh la ooh la TI MOUNE You spared my life Show me why PEASANTS Oh oh oh TI MOUNE You get me to rise Like a fish to the bait And tell me to wait Well, I'm waiting... PEASANTS Waiting TI MOUNE Waitng for Life to Begin! MEN One small Girl Girl WOMEN One small Waiting for Life to Begin! MEN One small Girl WOMEN One small Girl
