Guess we all are born with parts to play Some of us are stars, and some are just in the way I know I was meant for glory But that's never what my story brings And yet I keep on waiting When you have the passion and the drive You expect your moment center stage to arrive I show up with heart ablazing Ready to achieve amazing things But I'm left waiting in the wings I hear my cue, and yet I'm kept there waiting Know what to do, and still I stand there waiting It's always someone else who sings While I'm left waiting in the wings And so I keep on keeping on My chances come and then I blink and they're gone Always overlooked unfairly While pretending that it barely stings But it stings, yes, it stings And I'll shed no tears, I'll only keep on waiting If no one cheers, well, I can keep on waiting Who cares how loud the silence rings You'll find me waiting in the wings
