Waiting In The Wings Lyrics - Waiting In The Wings - Seventh Wonder

So here I am, I'm a man and that little boy 

Tied down deep within me 

-you have broken your word! 

I'm sorry that I bowed once again, 

And let the monsters loose 

You can't understand it, you can't understand what it's like 

The world which we live in 

Feel I'm tearing up inside I'm loosing my mind 

One look and the clown in the mirror says: 

Hi -i'm still here waiting... 

And time is no longer on your side 

A part of him dies, another one lives in the mirror... 

... and his legacy reigns 

But I won't follow you 

In the shadows I cry 

Closer to heaven I fail

I still remember the words that the little boy 

I once was, were told: 

Son, order rises from fear! 

Oh, how I swore I'd fight what he was 

And I'd never be like him 

I was such a fool, an ignorant fool to believe 

A man can control how he's living out his life 

Or change anything 

One look and the clown in the mirror says: 

Hi -i'm still here waiting... 

And time is no longer on your side 

A part of him dies, another one lives in the mirror... 

... and his legacy reigns 

But I won't follow you 

In the shadows I cry 

Closer to heaven I fail

So here I am, I'm a man in a cynical world 

Filled with compromises 

-a tyrant sighs in the mirror 

I know now I've been weak and afraid 

And turned the other cheek 

He knows I can't stand it, 

He knows I can't stand that I am a pawn in his puzzle 

And still waiting in the wings, the ghost of my past 

One look and the clown in the mirror says: 

Hi -i'm still here waiting... 

And time is no longer on your side 

A part of him dies, another one lives in the mirror... 

... and his legacy reigns, but I won't follow him 

In the shadows I cry, alone so close to heaven... 

... and his legacy reigns 

But I won't follow you 

In the shadows I cry 

Closer to heaven I fail
