Waiting in the Wings

Waitin', waitin', oh

I know how it feels to be
Just another face in the crowd
To feel like a whisper
In a world that's much too loud

Tryin' to find a place to fit in
A dream where you don't understand
And where your dreams begin

Don't let it pull you down
Don't let it turn you around
Don't ever forget whose child you are

Though others may fail to see
The diamond that lies beneath
He knows just how priceless you are
While you're waiting in the wings

Underestimated
By everyone that passes you by
Lookin' up from the bottom
Like a flower that's reachin' for the sky

Waitin' for the sun to break through
Waitin' for the chance for it
To shine down on you

Don't let it pull you down
Don't let it turn you around
Don't ever forget whose child you are

Though others may fail to see
The diamond that lies beneath
He knows just how priceless you are
While you're waiting in the wings

I see you standin' behind the curtain
Listening to everyone's applause
But remember the first shall be last
And the last shall be first in the eyes of God
