Lyrics

WAITING IN THE WINGS
Copyright 2006 by Joseph Francis Reilly

THIS AIN?T NO DRESS REHEARSAL
IT?S THE CINDERELLA BALL
YES, A LIVE COMMAND PERFORMANCE
COMPLETE WITH CURTAIN CALL

THIS IS WHEN MY KNEES GO KNOCKING
WHAT IF I FORGET MY LINES?
I DO BELIEVE THE PLAY?S JUST OPENING
SO TAKE A SEAT OPEN YOUR EYES

WAITING IN THE WINGS
WAITING IN THE WINGS

THE FIRST ACT WAS MOST EXCITING
ALL THE PLAYERS WERE AT WAR
OH, THE LADYS? PALPITATIONS
THE HERO?S BLIND TO WHAT?S IN STORE

THEN THE TWO OF THEM MEET WALKING
IN A FOREST THAT?S UNKNOWN
AN EVIL LORD BRINGS INTERMISSION
AND CASTS A SPELL, TURNS HEARTS TO STONE

WAITING IN THE WINGS
WAITING IN THE WINGS










YES, MY HEART IS LIKE A CAVERN
FEELINGS ECHO THROUGH THE YEARS
I?M TIRED OF NOT BEING WORTHY
ANGER FLOWING THROUGH THESE TEARS
WHEN I?M STUMBLING ?ROUND IN DARKNESS
DAMNED IF I DON?T SEE THE LIGHT
WORDS TUMBLING OUT OF BLACKNESS
BRINGING SECOND SIGHT?

NO DRAMA LASTS FOREVER
NOR THIS TAPESTRY OF PAIN
FOR THE KING DIED EARLIER THIS MORNING
SO OUR RENAISSANCE BEGINS IN RAIN

YOU MAY NOT BE SUCH A BIG STAR
BUT YOU SHINE LIKE ALL THE REST
AND WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE
NO ONE OF US IS SECOND BEST

WE?RE JUST WAITING IN THE WINGS
JUST WAITING IN THE WINGS
