Waiting in the Wings


When in all despair, I go there

Waiting in the wings

Where heart will soar and spirit fly

Waiting in the wings

All goes dark on the scheduled mark

Waiting in the wings

The world is silent. No one speaks

Waiting in the wings

The music starts. Prepare the arts

Waiting in the wings

The lights go up. My time has come

No longer waiting in the wings
