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 its 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 in the ground And my fate in the air Waiting 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 racing down the beach Racing to places I was meant to reach My stranger, one day you'll arrive Your car will stop And in I'll hop Abd 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! 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 waiting Waiting for life to begin Waiting for life to begin!
