Waiting In The Wings
Waiting In The Wings
We may never know how many people
Are standing out there waiting for their cue
Some are too shy or embarrassed to come forward
And some have already paid their dues
Life may only give you one opportunity
So it pays to have courage from the start
When the spotlight shines the light may blind you
But it’s time to play your part
[pre-chorus]
As life’s curtain rises
This is your chance to perform
Prepare and always be ready
Even when the stage feels stormed
No matter how many times you rehearse your lines
Nerves may leave your spirit unsteady
But somewhere beyond the fear and doubt
Your moment is waiting already
[Chorus]
Waiting in the wings
Waiting for the moment life begins
When the curtain starts to rise
And the light falls from the skies
Everyone out there is playing their part
Some may act, dance or sing
Some of the world’s most beautiful creatures
Are just waiting for their wings
[Verse]
When the stalls are packed and the audience claps
Take a bow and turn out the light
Leave this stage with no regrets
Then disappear into the night
Every soul is carrying something
Hidden somewhere deep within
A dream that waits behind the curtain
For the courage to begin
[Bridge]
Some were born for quiet moments
Some were born to fill the sky
Some are waiting in the shadows
For the perfect time to fly
And though the world may never notice
Every sacrifice you bring
Somewhere deep inside your spirit
You can feel the forming wings
[Chorus]
Waiting in the wings
Waiting for the moment life begins
When the curtain starts to rise
And the light falls from the skies
Everyone out there is playing their part
Some may act, dance or sing
Some of the world’s most beautiful creatures
Are just waiting for their wings
[Outro]
As the final curtain falls
And the theatre lights grow dim
Somewhere another soul is waiting
For their chance to begin.
