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 his 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 on the ground
And my fate in the air
Waiting for life to begin

Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la
Mama's contented and Tonton
Accepts what he gets

Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la
Happy for tea in their cups
And no holes in their nets

Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la
Happy to have what they have
And to stay where they are

Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la
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
The car will stop
And in I'll hop
And 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, oh, oh, oh
Send me to places
No one before me has been

Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la
You spared my life
Show me why, oh, oh, oh

You get me to rise
Like a fish to the bait
And tell me to wait
Well, I'm waiting

Waiting
Waiting for life to begin
One small girl, girl
One small

Waiting for life to begin
One small girl
One small girl
